"Sister, his core fluctuates with each temporal shift!" Li Wei called out, his scholarly eyes tracking the complex patterns. "Wait for the resonance peak—there!"
She struck like a golden tempest, her daggers weaving through gaps in space-time that shouldn't have existed. The false elder's defense shattered under her onslaught, his temporal tricks useless against an assassin who could turn his own fractured moments against him. Her first blade found his shoulder, sending corrupted essence spraying across the ice. Her second pierced his leg, forcing him to manifest fully in a single moment.
The false elder snarled, summoning chains of pure darkness that whipped through the air like angry serpents. But Li Hua danced through them all, her form dissolving into pure light whenever they came close. The celestial diamonds in her ears sang a song of vengeance, their resonance growing stronger with each strike until the very air shimmered with golden power.
