The tip of the giant sword summoned by Maximilian struck the translucent barrier of the Baihu Stronghold. Shockwaves erupted outward in every direction, the ground trembling and the still air turning into wild storms.
"Khwak!" Maximilian threw up another splatter of blood, the dark cracks across his skin spreading even quicker.
From the other side, Vyomendra rose into the air, completely transformed into his white tiger form. Just a simple act such as flying surged a gnawing pain through his core. It was as if his insides were being aggressively torn apart.
"GRAWRR!!!" His deafening roar thundered across the battlefield, causing all the human cultivators who heard him to tremble on their feet. He ignored the pain caused by the Soul Gnawing Gu and bolted head-on towards the colossal sword trying to destroy the array.
He didn't stop at the tip of the sword. It was never his goal to begin with. He moved out from the protective array and swung his claw at the blade of the sword.
