CRACK!
The frozen space shattered as Lin Xinyao's sword flared with lunar fire.
"I am the Moon's will," Lin Xinyao said coldly. "No cage can hold me."
Tantai Xue's grin faltered.
She couldn't believe that the seemingly inexperienced young woman in front of her possessed such rich battle experience. And her power was even more bizarre.
This woman... was far stronger than anticipated.
Tantai Xue's playful demeanor vanished. Her black eyes darkened further as she raised both hands, divine energy pulsing around her.
"Chains!"
Golden chains thicker than ancient trees erupted from the void, each link inscribed with glowing divine commandments. They coiled toward Lin Xinyao like living serpents, their presence alone distorting space.
Lin Xinyao didn't retreat.
She raised her sword—
A perfect circle of condensed moonlight formed before her, reflecting the incoming chains. The moment the golden restraints touched the mirror's surface—
BOOM!
