Jin Ying did not notice the expressions of the other two. Right now, her heart was set on the mass of Vital Qi. The temptation of it was too great. Once she had the Vital Qi, it would surely be as though she was reborn. Her chances of becoming immortal would be multiplied.
Rumble! Just as Jin Ying reached out to grasp the mass of Vital Qi, a beam of white light suddenly shot out from the ground under the pool. The light shot towards Jin Ying.
Jin Ying's expression changed slightly. A sense of foreboding welled up inside her. Sensing danger, she retreated without almost any hesitation. At the same time, she flicked her wrist and a small, green shield appeared in her hand. The shield grew larger as it faced the wind, becoming a green light that enveloped her entire body.
Retreating did not help Jin Ying dodge the pillar of light. It still crashed into her, its frightening power seemingly able to tear space apart. Jin Ying was sent flying backward.
