Chapter 722 225: Sword Qi Unleashed—Shi Feiyang's Life Hangs by a Thread, Liu Tingting's Killing Intent Boundless

At this moment, he became acutely aware that under the relentless Sword Qi, he had no chance to avoid it. The shadow of death enveloped him like a giant beast with claws and teeth, leaving him no escape.

Driven by the most primordial and instinctive desire to survive, Shi Feiyang involuntarily raised his left hand, attempting to use this last ounce of strength to fend off the deadly Sword Qi.

His left hand trembled slightly, not out of fear, but as a natural response when teetering on the brink of life and death.

At this moment, his mind was devoid of distractions, filled only with a strong desire for life, like a faint glimmer in the darkness, supporting his last struggle.

Just as the Sword Qi was about to touch Shi Feiyang's throat, something extraordinarily bizarre happened without warning.

The dragon tower on the ring of his left middle finger was precisely and unerringly struck by Liu Tingting's Sword Qi.

In an instant, a deafening "boom" erupted, its sound akin to a thundering roar from ancient times.

So powerful was its force that the thick snow atop the mountain shook and fell, fluttering down like goose feathers.

The surrounding air also violently rippled under this powerful impact, forming visible waves.

Immediately afterward, an unimaginably strong counterforce surged out of the dragon tower, like a raging sea wave.

This counterforce, like an invisible yet invincible wave, instantly rebounded Liu Tingting's Sword Qi fiercely.

Moreover, a brilliant beam of light shot out from the dragon tower, akin to a divine light from the sky bearing divine punishment, carrying boundless majesty and power, straight toward Liu Tingting.

Liu Tingting saw a sudden flash before her eyes; the light was so dazzling, like lightning from the heavens, striking directly at her.

As the light surged in, her mind went blank, unable to react.

Soon, a burning sensation flooded every pore on her body, as if countless flames were igniting within. Her eyes widened in shock, filled with disbelief and deep fear, when she suddenly discovered her clothes unexpectedly burst into flames. The fire burned wildly, like a beast unleashed from Hell Abyss, with endless destructive power, rapidly engulfing her whole.

Her throat let out a shrill, piercing scream, full of despair, echoing like the lament of a wounded lone wolf in the frigid night atop the silent mountain peak, harrowing to hear.

Her body trembled violently from fear and pain, her hands flailing desperately, trying to extinguish the flames with chaotic gestures.

However, driven by some malevolent force, the raging flames showed no sign of weakening, instead they burned ever fiercer, trapping her within.

In utter chaos and despair, Liu Tingting collapsed to the ground, her only thought being to use the thick snow to extinguish the flames on her body.

Her actions were clumsy, devoid of former grace and composure, rolling continuously in the snow, splashing clouds of snowflakes.

But her hair was also mercilessly licked by the fiery tongues, becoming a blazing ball atop her head.

She rolled frantically while slapping her burning hair with trembling hands, her nails turning pale from exertion, desperately trying to smother the demonic flames.

After considerable struggle and effort, the flames finally subsided, leaving only wisps of pungent black smoke rising.

Liu Tingting arduously stood up from the ground, her legs weak, her body trembling slightly, wavering precariously.

Her eyes were filled with panic and helplessness, hurriedly reaching into her bosom to fetch the mirror she carried.

When she raised the mirror with trembling hands to eye level, her face turned pale with terror upon seeing her reflection.

The once silky waterfall-like hair was now unbearably unsightly, half bald, with charred strands scattered chaotically, emitting a pungent odor.

Her face twisted with fear and anger, eyes round with deep resentment.

"I never thought I became immortal yet couldn't defeat a mortal, how strange! What's going on? Could Shi Feiyang have become immortal too?"

Liu Tingting realized she suffered severe injuries today, her vitality exhausted, incapable of further battling.

Her heart filled with alarm and dread, like a wounded bird yearning to flee the dreadful place.

She dared not stay a moment longer, gritting her teeth, summoning all her remaining strength, she soared skyward.

Her figure in the air appeared so fragile and helpless, like a wounded lone goose in a violent storm, wobbling its way toward the distance, disappearing swiftly within the layers of clouds.

As the clouds slowly drifted, her silhouette gradually vanished into the horizon, leaving Shi Feiyang standing alone on the shaken mountain peak, gazing at the direction she departed, unmoving for a long time.

Shi Feiyang slowly opened his eyes, the sight that met him rendered him momentarily speechless, his mind blank.
