Chapter 785: Evading attacks, not engaging head-on

"Boom!"

At that very instant, a giant crater exploded where Bai Niangzi had been standing a moment before.

"How did you get away?"

A look of shock and suspicion appeared on Bai Niangzi's face. She had clearly sensed that Zhang Wuji's speed had slowed significantly; logically, it should have been impossible for him to dodge her lethal sneak attack.

A mocking smile curled the corners of Zhang Wuji's mouth as he teased, "Guess!"

As the words fell, a streak of cold light flashed, swift as a fleeting shadow, impossibly fast.

A gash was sliced across Bai Niangzi's chest, and fresh blood surged out.

"Damn it!" Bai Niangzi cursed under her breath. She had not expected Zhang Wuji's speed to reach such a level—it even surpassed her own, achieving the legendary "Shifting Form and Changing Shadow."

She hurriedly took a pill and swallowed it to stem the bleeding, her eyes filled with intense killing intent.

The next second, she let out a cold snort, took a step, and lunged forward. Her slender fingers traced circles in the void, the tips glowing with a ghostly green light, aiming straight for Zhang Wuji's throat.

Zhang Wuji swung his sword to parry. *Clang! * Sparks flew in all directions.

The two engaged in dozens of exchanges in an instant.

Finally, Bai Niangzi let out a sudden, violent shout; the nails on her fingers became incomparably sharp, as if forged from steel.

She clawed viciously at Zhang Wuji's shoulder.

Zhang Wuji dared not meet it head-on; he tapped his toes against the ground and retreated rapidly.

A wound deep enough to reveal bone was torn into his shoulder blade, and bright red blood gushed out.

Having landed a hit, Bai Niangzi did not let up and continued to pounce on Zhang Wuji.

Zhang Wuji continuously employed the Lingbo Micro-Steps to dodge the attacks; he did not intend to engage Bai Niangzi head-on.

Because the previous exchange had made him realize that Bai Niangzi was even more powerful than Li Qiushui.

If he fought her head-on, he would be no match for her.

"The Wu Gong of your Mo Sect is truly sinister," Zhang Wuji thought to himself with a frown. This martial art seemed capable of draining a person's essence, making it impossible to guard against.

Bai Niangzi pressed her advantage, launching another fierce assault that kept Zhang Wuji firmly suppressed.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The two clashed repeatedly, a series of muffled thuds echoing out, kicking up rolling clouds of dust.

A moment later, Zhang Wuji gradually found himself unable to hold on; he was slowly being overwhelmed by Bai Niangzi and fell into a disadvantageous position.

"Zhang Wuji, go to your death." Bai Niangzi's eyes narrowed, revealing a grim look.

At this moment, Zhang Wuji suddenly roared toward the sky, and a surge of majestic internal energy erupted from his body, sweeping across the surroundings like a bursting dam.

In an instant, Bai Niangzi's expression changed drastically. Her body stiffened as she felt a massive sense of oppression, as if a great mountain were pressing down upon her.

Her face turned pale with terror.

Subsequently, a simple and desolate Heaven-Reliance Sword condensed out of thin air, slashing down with terrifying, peerless pressure.

"Puchi!"

This sword strike severed one of Bai Niangzi's arms, and blood sprayed out.

Following closely, another strike pierced her lower abdomen, inflicting heavy injuries.

"Damn it!"

Bai Niangzi roared in fury and hurriedly circulated her Mo Sect arts to repair the injured areas, but Zhang Wuji took this opportunity to pull his sword back and retreat.

"Trying to run? Dream on!" Bai Niangzi's eyes were fierce as she hurriedly gave chase.

Unfortunately, Zhang Wuji had long been prepared. Mid-way, he suddenly threw the Heaven-Reliance Sword.

The Heaven-Reliance Sword left his hand and sped toward Bai Niangzi.

Bai Niangzi's expression changed violently, and she hurriedly waved her horsetail whisk, trying to block the flying sword.

"Chila."

The horsetail whisk was severed by the Heaven-Reliance Sword.

Bai Niangzi let out a miserable shriek, clutching her blood-drenched shoulder as she collapsed to the ground. ===== CHAPTER 787 =====
