I'm a little panicked when I cross the collapse

To escape Lu Qiong, the Herrscher of Wind raced with all her might towards higher ground, as if a raging flood was lurking behind her.

Her wings flapped violently, creating gusts of wind as she tried to use the wind to fly faster and farther.

However, at this moment, Lu Qiong suddenly noticed something unusual—he found that his ascent speed was gradually slowing down. This was a normal phenomenon, as he was not yet able to completely float in the air.

His eyes narrowed, and without hesitation, he hurled the longsword that shimmered with a deep blue light forward!

A sharp whooshing sound rang out, followed by a dazzling flash of cold light.

In the blink of an eye, the incredibly sharp sword tip flashed past the Herrscher of Wind's ear like lightning, leaving a tiny drop of blood.

In the blink of an eye, seeing that such a fierce sword strike had failed to hit its target, Kevin, who was looking at Yao Wang with his palm on his forehead below, couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

He then exclaimed, "What a pity! It was just a little short!"

Alicia pursed her lips slightly, "That's hard to say. That bad guy's abilities go far beyond that."

"Ah? Senior Ellie, you seem to know a lot about that man in black?"

Kevin scratched his head, looking unsure of himself.

"Hmph! I don't know him, I don't understand him, I don't know anything about him."

This tone clearly indicates that Ai Li still harbors resentment towards some of Lu Qiong's previous actions, but we don't know exactly what those actions were.

Over the city,

Lu Qiong, who missed his throw, didn't seem... that disappointed?

"Hahaha! You foolish humans! With such meager abilities, you dare to dream of contending with the power of a god? You are utterly overestimating yourselves!"

Having narrowly escaped a fatal blow, the Herrscher of Wind became smug and overjoyed. She laughed wildly, her laughter echoing throughout the space, filled with disdain and contempt.

That once beautiful and refined face was now distorted and deformed by extreme arrogance, looking exactly like a petty person who had gotten his way, showing no trace of the disheveled appearance he had shown when he had been frightened and fled in panic.

Lu Qiong remained calm, but slowly pointed to the back of the Herrscher of Wind, "Why don't you take a look behind you?"

"Hahaha, you fool! How could there be anything behind me? You're trying to use your limited spatial power to ambush me while I'm looking behind me, aren't you?"

"Heh, you think you can fool me with such a petty trick? How naive!"

Hiss!

Ah! The Herrscher of Wind suddenly let out an extremely shrill scream, as if all the bones in her body were about to shatter.

The sound resounded through the sky, sending chills down one's spine.

A wave of excruciating pain washed over her, and the Herrscher of Wind turned deathly pale, with large beads of sweat rolling down her forehead.

Her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at her body—her once magnificent and dazzling wings had been severed in large sections! Blood gushed out, staining the surrounding air red.

The Herrscher of Wind was utterly astonished. She couldn't understand who possessed such terrifying power to injure her so severely in an instant.

She hurriedly turned her head, wanting to see where the attacker was, but found that the place where the human had been standing was now empty, and she could not sense even a trace of his presence.

Just then, a sinister and eerie laugh suddenly rang out, like the roar of a demon from the depths of hell, or the death warning issued by a night owl in the darkness.

"Hehe, I already reminded you~"

The Herrscher of Wind went completely berserk, yelling, "Aaaaah! You wretched ant, I'll kill you!"

"Be honest with me!"

Hiss!

Lu Qiong swung his sword backhand and cut off the last remaining wing of the Wind Herrscher.

Although it is called the Herrscher of Wind, it can indeed take flight using air currents, but having become accustomed to using its wings, it is temporarily unable to stabilize its body in its current severely injured state.

Just as it was about to lose control of its body and fall straight down from the sky like a kite with a broken string, Lu Qiong appeared in front of the Herrscher of Wind like a ghost!

A deafening roar followed!

It turned out that Lu Qiong was wielding the Ruoshui longsword, which gleamed coldly in the sunlight, and was slashing fiercely at the Herrscher of Wind!

This sword strike was as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye it was already close to the Herrscher of Wind's face!

Faced with such a fierce attack, coupled with her serious injuries, the Herrscher of Wind was unable to react in time. However, at the critical moment of life and death, she still managed to react quickly—frantically raising her arms in an attempt to block the fatal blow.

However, to its utter surprise, the power contained in Lu Qiong's sword strike was truly astonishing.

With another muffled thud, the Wind Herrscher was knocked away once more.
