Just as the few of them were about to reach the high platform, there was another thunderous explosion. The towering Thunder sword continued to slash towards Ling Chuxi. Bolts of lightning flickered, sending elder Tong and the others flying back.
"Sister Chuxi! Senior martial uncle Ling!" Seeing Ling Chuxi being enveloped by the towering lightning sword, all the disciples of ethereal sect residence cried out in surprise. Some of them had even turned their faces away, unable to bear to watch any longer.
Even if they gave it their all, they would not be able to block such a sword. Moreover, Ling Chuxi had already been severely injured. The outcome was obvious.
Just when everyone thought that Ling Chuxi would definitely die, a clear and melodious cry of a bird rang out. It was like the cry of a Phoenix to the nine Heavens. Even the earth-shaking Thunder was covered by it.
