The maid's aura rose again, and her palm strikes were even more fierce than before, with a touch of brutality. The black energy around her surged, putting considerable pressure on Li Yifei. Everywhere she passed, even the fallen leaves quickly turned yellow and black, and several members of the Holy War Organization who were watching rolled and crawled backward.
It was obvious that they had seen this move from the maid before, as fear showed on their faces. This black energy seemed to be a kind of sacrifice that could grant greater power. After the sacrifice, the black energy emanating from the maid exuded a threatening aura that even made Li Yifei feel in danger.
He pulled back a bit, watching the maid's transformation. Li Yifei had never felt this black energy on the Holy Maiden, which suggested two possibilities: either the Holy Maiden hadn't used it on him, or she didn't know how. Li Yifei leaned toward the latter; it seemed that what they practiced was different.
