047- Canyon Floor

Go!

Without much hesitation, Lu Mingshu made her decision.

If it was an abnormal treasure, its dense mystic force would definitely be attractive to this Specter. If it was a powerful organism, she could take the opportunity to impede the Specter.

Of course, there existed a possibility where she could be caught in the middle and be smashed into smithereens.

But with the current outlook of the situation, reinforcements would not be arriving anytime soon. Hence, she could only try her luck no matter how slim the chances of winning were.

The Specter behind her sped up in a swoop to get her, creating an afterimage of a black line as it neared her rapidly.

Lu Mingshu suddenly leapt up and swung her sword in a bid to strike the Specter!

This one strike, which practically condensed her mystic force into threads, lasered towards the Specter's pupil.

The black line stopped and the Specter lifted one arm to block the incoming strike while striking out its other arm.

Hong! With one wave of its arm, gravel was sent flying in all directions.

At the same moment, an odd screech erupted from the Specter's mouth.

Lu Mingshu swiftly blocked the attack and saw a drip of black-colored blood dribble down its palm, corroding the stones on the floor which instantly turned into black smoke.

The thinner the mystic force, the more penetrative power it had. However, few could condense their mystic force into such a concentrated and thin form.

Lu Mingshu was lacking in resources. So for her, mystic force was exceptionally precious. Lu Mingshu valued every tiny bit of mystic force tremendously. Over time, she trained to have exceptionally good control over her mystic force.

Of course, this tiny injury meant nothing to the Specter. What kind of ferocious beast didn't fight in close quarters on a daily basis while living in Jade West Mountain Forest? Injuries were nothing out of the ordinary, and the injury inflicted by Lu Mingshu was only comparable to a mosquito bite.

However, this Specter who had already deemed Lu Mingshu as its prey was not happy about being hurt by its prey. It was immediately enraged.

Lu Mingshu steadied her body and kept her breathing tranquil.

Her remaining mystic force was not sufficient for her to run to that place now. Hence, in order to give herself an opportunity, she had to face this Specter head-on and beat it off.

Calm, I have to keep calm.

Lu Mingshu circulated her internal mystic force and lowered her center of gravity. Then she tightly held on to the sword in her hands.

The Specter lifted its thick, solid right arm slowly and unhurriedly; then, it abruptly swung its arm!

Faced with the strong winds of the attack, Lu Mingshu believed that this one punch could even smash a rock into particles.

Her gazed remained fixated on that black shadow, and right before it landed on her body, she leapt up and landed on a large rock.

As its first attack was unsuccessful, the Specter threw out a second punch.

The impact of the Specter's strike ruptured the large rock.

When Lu Mingshu was in mid-air from her leap, she brought down her sword.
