"No one can touch the Three Pure Ancient Tree!" The harsh yelling echoed once more, sparking an even more brutal assault toward me!
I dodged while thinking through my approach.
But right now, the Guardian's power had already grown dramatically, nearing the strength of a half-step Martial Marquis!
With my attention split, the Guardian managed to find an opening.
"Clang!"
A vicious steel blade brutally cut down across my shoulder.
My shoulder instantly split open with a bloody wound, even slightly cracking the bone.
"Damn, if this keeps up, I won't get a shot at taking the Three Pure Ancient Tree." My expression turned pretty grim.
I never would've thought the Guardian would be this tough to handle.
"I can't rely on raw power. I need to get smart about this." I used my Shrinking Ground Into An Inch technique and pulled back fast.
I extended my divine sense, searching for the Guardian's weak point.
Too bad the Guardian was just a spiritual being with no obvious flaws.
