Varesh didn't give Aksai even a moment to recover.
VMMMM!
His black Natal Sword erupted with terrifying Sword Intent.
The mummified-looking sword cultivator disappeared.
Aksai's pupils contracted.
He immediately raised the broken remains of Kalina's Natal Sword.
CLANG!
The two swords collided.
Aksai's arms went numb.
Before he could redirect the force, Varesh's Natal Sword twisted in an unnatural arc and struck again.
SHING!
Aksai barely blocked it.
Another strike came.
Then another.
CLANG! CLANG! SHING!
The broken Natal Sword in Aksai's hand trembled violently.
Its crimson Sword Intent was rapidly dissipating.
Aksai gritted his teeth and retreated while activating every defensive ability available to him.
Golden Aurous Qi surged around his body.
His Aether Suppression Domain expanded.
The remaining Demon Vines rushed toward Varesh from every direction, attempting to restrain him.
But none of it mattered.
Varesh had become a completely different existence.
