" The dragon qilin spewed great flames, true fire blazing all around it as well; the two white bats flew into the air and spat out sonic waves; and Shen Mu stirred the Carefree Sword, the divine blade shuttling up and down like light, like lightning, severing the roots behind the rumps of every girl that came flinging herself at them.
At such a moment no other sword would have been of any use; only this divine sword could hold off the tendrils of the Withered Ridge root demon. But whether it could hold off the old demon's true body, Shen Mu could not be certain. "This old demon's cultivation seems to have grown stronger!
