The Qingyue that was previously entangled with the black mist let out a clear cry, and with a frenzied flash, it exploded, releasing nearly a hundred sword energies almost simultaneously, tearing open everything nearby and transforming into chilling cold lights as they swept downwards.
Upon raising her head and seeing this, Dowager Empress Dong, despite the intense pain in her head, knew that if she didn't struggle with all her might now, she might truly perish there and then.
With that, she fiercely beat her fishtail, shooting backwards through the water. At the same time, she opened her mouth and spewed out a wisp of blood-red mist that, though seemingly a thin layer, grew to several meters in size as soon as it left her mouth, momentarily halting the falling sword lights in midair and preventing them from immediately descending.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dowager Empress Dong made two leaps and actually managed to escape the range of the sword lights.
