They launched another attack on the monster. Shen Jingqi swung his longsword, hacking at the monster's leg, while Li Baiyu seized the opportunity to slip behind the monster and stab it in the back with her dagger. The monster detected their attack and nimbly turned around, sweeping its tail towards Li Baiyu. Unable to dodge, Li Baiyu was struck by the tail, her body flying through the air and crashing heavily onto the ground.
"Senior!" Shen Jingqi exclaimed in worry and anger. Without hesitation, he charged towards the monster, his longsword shining like a silver beam, thrusting towards the monster's chest. The monster sidestepped to evade the attack, then caught Shen Jingqi's sword with its claw. Shen Jingqi tried to pull his sword back with force, only to discover it was firmly gripped by the monster, immovable.
