Chapter 144: Feng Tian's Curiosity

The dark beast lunged forward, claws extended to deliver the final blow.

Gu Jin, however, was prepared.

As the barrier disintegrated, she swiftly moved, evading the beast's deadly strike by a hair's breadth.

In one fluid motion, she thrust her hand forward, the dark fire knife aimed directly at the beast's heart.

The beast's eyes widened in shock as the dark fire knife pierced its chest.

The concentrated energy of the dark fire element, combined with the precision of Gu Jin's strike, created an explosion of power that engulfed the beast from within.

It let out a blood-curdling roar, its body convulsing as the dark fire consumed it from the inside out.

Gu Jin didn't relent.

She poured all her remaining energy into the knife, ensuring that the beast couldn't escape the inferno she had unleashed.

The flames flickered and danced, their dark hue blending with the beast's own dark energy, but ultimately overpowering it.
