Zhong Yi and Zhong Ling's exploration of the Horned Demon Secret Realm had been exceptionally smooth so far. The two had already developed a preliminary understanding in battle.
When they encountered a few lone Horned Demons, Hong Ji would strike directly, plunging the slender Bone Swords that materialized in her hands into the creatures' vulnerable eyes.
After a Bone Sword pierced a Horned Demon's skull, Hong Ji didn't even need to move. The sword would change shape inside the demon's brain, killing it in an instant.
Although these Bone Swords had left Hong Ji's body, they were made from materials she had absorbed and were thus considered a part of her.
For a brief ten-odd seconds, Hong Ji could still control these materials even after they detached from her body.
This was a development of her own abilities, honed as she refined her techniques in combat.
