One Person, One Sword

The pink eagle anxiously nudged Da Jiao with its head, urging her to quickly climb onto its back.

In the distance, Ling Feng was exerting all his strength to eliminate the corrupted creatures, his sword-wielding hand trembling from exhaustion, and his radiant sword also began to dim, covered in a layer of darkness.

He no longer had enough strength to purify his sword.

Seeing the colossal corrupted creature charging towards him, Ling Feng's heart clenched, and he held his breath: "Damn it, an S-rank corrupted creature, a Ghost Frog..."

This place was only a small-scale base, with no S-rank Sentinels and a sparse number of A-ranks; they were basically no match for such a creature.

As if sensing the gaze behind him, Ling Feng turned his head, just in time to meet Da Jiao's clear purple eyes.

Amidst the chaotic battlefield, their gazes met.

Ling Feng hastily shouted: "What are you standing there for? Run!"

But Da Jiao didn't run; instead, she drew the flexible sword from her hip and stepped towards him.

The blade swung up, straight and rigid.

The sword's surface shone like a mirror, reflecting Ling Feng's astonished face and the Ghost Frog's massive bloody maw behind him.

Da Jiao formed hand seals, her fingertips flashing with silver light, channeling all her energy into the sword.

"The words 'flee' and 'escape' do not exist in my dictionary."

"My Sentinel is also not allowed to die here."

Her shimmering silver hair fluttered, her cold, emotionless crystal-purple eyes gleamed.

In a flash, Da Jiao had stepped in front of Ling Feng.

The Guide's characteristic spiritual power gently enveloped Ling Feng, dispelling the filthy corruption from the corrupted creature.

Ling Feng's turbulent spiritual domain gradually stabilized.

The radiant sword, once covered by the corrupted creature, trembled slightly. The layer of corruption peeled off, incinerated to ash by the pure spiritual power.

Da Jiao stroked Ling Feng's head, leaving a simple protective spell, her voice cold: "Stay put."

Ling Feng only felt a gentle hand stroking the top of his head, and the beautiful Guide smiled warmly, as if saying: "Be good, wait for me to return."

...

Da Jiao turned and walked away, her slender figure standing alone against the colossal monster tens of meters tall.

Only a trace of fragrance lingered on his sleeve, leaving Ling Feng in a daze.

Flames flickered! Swords clanged!

The girl swung her flexible sword, her figure gliding like a phantom, directly slicing off the Ghost Frog's thick, crude tongue!

Filthy substance splattered everywhere; she retreated to dodge, not a speck of dust touching her.

The Ghost Frog let out a mournful roar, its four legs lunging towards her, and the surrounding corrupted creatures also crawled forward, encircling her.

Da Jiao showed no panic, continuing to perform hand seals, empowering her sword, her eyes sharp, aiming straight for the enemy's head!

One person, one sword, unleashed an earth-shattering aura.

The wind carried the smell of gunpowder.

Amidst the overwhelming corruption, her figure stood out strangely.

Ling Feng stared intently at Da Jiao's back.

His heart pounded wildly.

A small crow flew over, nimbly dodging the struggle between Da Jiao and the Ghost Frog.

No sooner had she spoken than Da Jiao swung her sword, slicing off the Ghost Frog's front leg!

The monster lost its balance, crashing heavily to the ground.

Foul-smelling blood sprayed in all directions. Da Jiao couldn't dodge in time, getting splattered all over.

The stench assaulted her nostrils.

She staggered back several tens of meters, her sword-wielding wrist ached, and she tried to perform hand seals again, but her spiritual power was depleted.

Da Jiao frowned: "Damn it, I can't even use the lowest-level enhancement spell."

Da Jiao suddenly felt a burning pain on her arm. She looked down and saw that the exposed skin splattered by the corrupted creature's blood had been corroded, and her veins bulged with a strange purplish-red hue.

"..."

Da Jiao clicked her tongue, struggling to stand up: "It's poisonous too, truly troublesome."
