The Sword that Breaks the Heart 

The eyes reddened and the cheeks began to sprout hair; this was the transformation of the demi-human.

In a few moments, Zhexiu's strength increased several times and his body grew stronger to an unimaginable level. Although the demon woman's hands had already torn at his shoulder, it was unable to shatter his bones. At a crucial moment, the treacherous sword that pierced his waist could go no deeper.

The sword was pulled out with a whoosh, then chopped at Zhexiu's neck. Given the Qi at the edge of the sword, Zhexiu would still have not been able to block it even if he had completely transformed.

Qi Jian spotted this scene out of the corner of his eye and was shocked beyond belief, but his sword was currently entangled with the sword of the woman, and so he was incapable of providing assistance. His left hand grasped his sheathe and moved to protect Zhexiu's back. He used the incredibly sharp Mount Li swordplay in order to block that sword.
