Scarlet District Mistress, now on her feet again, had recovered her peak strength almost instantaneously. In fact, she seemed even stronger to boot.
Unlike previously, Lu Sheng was using all his arms and legs now, even the spikes on his elbows and knees.
His sabers had exploded in that collision a moment earlier.
"BAM!"
Struck by the saber, Lu Sheng smashed into the cliff once again.
Despite blocking the saber with both his arms, the massive force contained in the saber was still too great to defuse.
A giant boulder, about ten meters wide, fell down from above him.
Lu Sheng sucked in a deep breath of air, ignoring the cracks covering his armor. Suddenly, he pulled himself out of the cliff and climbed up the pencil-straight cliff like a lizard, stepping on the rock wall, and headed for the large recess in the face of the cliff.
SLASH!
A long saber covered in a scarlet glow slashed across the spot where he had been.
