Fang Xing was the one to initiate the first attack. Surprised and flustered, Hou Qing controlled his Flying Sword with one hand while hastily trying to throw the Ignition Pellet into his mouth with the other.
However, Hou Qing did not have enough Qi remaining to control his Flying Sword from such a distance, especially when it was faced with the mid-tiered [Nine Snakes’ Sword]. Loud metallic sounds erupted out the moment the silver sword came into contact with the golden one, and even though the golden sword was stopped in its path by the silver blade, all nine of the snakes coiled around Hou Qing’s weapon before unleashing themselves forward, swimming at a dangerous speed towards Hou Qing himself.
With a few clear swishing sounds, each snake penetrated his body one after the other.
