On the bone galleon, Ghostmother's phoenix-like eyes narrowed. Despite having been in the Heavenspan Realm for many years, she had been stuck in the Deadmire for most of that time. Furthermore, Bai Xiaochun had progressed significantly since the last time she had encountered him, on the eve of her departure.
Therefore, she didn't have a thorough understanding of all of his divine abilities and magical techniques. Nor was she aware of all of his trump cards. Because of that, she wouldn't make the mistake of underestimating him. Although she didn't quite view him as being on the same level as herself, she did think of him as being stronger than Daoist Heavenspan.
As soon as she saw the vortex springing up around his hand, her eyes flashed.
At the same time, a howl erupted from the mouth of Bai Xiaochun's Forefather Transformation form. Stepping forward, he gathered the power of the black vortex... and punched out toward the incoming beam of light!
