This blob seemed to have more of a consciousness than the ones from before. The slime quickly turned all of its attention to protecting the pierced top of its head.
Meng Yixuan started attacking all out, working hard on striking through to the light.
However, he quickly realised that the blob was near invincible. Apparently, its sole weak spot was, in fact, the top of its head.
The blob finally switched to offense as Meng Yixuan took a moment to contemplate his next move, shifting its flexible form into a beast of light, resembling a griffin. The head of an eagle, with claws sharper than razors, fitted onto the body of a lion, with legs of invincible might.
The indent also moved to the top of its head, according to the body structure. The eyes of the chimera were bright, not as much as the Guang that remained cosily tucked into his robes, but this was a harmful light that blared directly onto him.
Without giving him even a moment to process what was going on, the deeto-like slime blob swept down on large eagle wings, huge talons ready to grab onto him.
Meng Yixuan formulated a plan in the half a second he had, letting the claws grab onto him, while circulating some air around his arms to make sure the claws wouldn’t actually harm him.

The griffin flew up high, higher than Meng Yixuan even thought existed in this vast darkness. It continued upwards for a little longer before loosening its claws to drop him from that insane height.

Each wing fell off, dropping to the ground in its original slime state. The both of them plummeted, ground nearing at an alarming rate before the light blob quickly grew another pair of wings, shrinking as it did so.
This time, it was quick to attempt to fling him off, turning upside down and flying about quickly and powerfully to throw him. Meng Yixuan leaked some qi to the area between his legs, solidifying the water vapour into ice, to keep him from falling off.
With his safety now secured, he again raised up his sword and plunged it hard into the head of the slime, hitting the light source and cracking it.
He now realised that the light came from what decently resembled a gem, and now that it was on the brink of shattering, the light leaked out and dissipated.
Meng Yixuan realised he’d have to finish this fast, before he completely lost sight of the gem.
The blob quickly abandoned its griffin form after flying to the ground, shifting into a cheetah instead.
The pieces he’d chopped off slowly approached again, looking to remerge. He couldn’t let that happen, he knew, the lost chunks had been a mega debuff on the thing. The light blob sped towards him, opening its jaws to clamp down on him before it even arrived.
Meng Yixuan forced his eyes to focus, sending entire waves of qi to them, willing them to unblur the animal sprinting towards him.
Stormy eyes lit up with purple lightning as the creature started to move slower and slower before him.
He raised his hand, sword held comfortably in his grasp, ready to strike perfectly at the exact spot on its head. Sword qi swirled about the blade as he prepared, swaying about in a way that the lowest leveled swords couldn’t.
Guang could feel it, it seemed, as the little light flew out from inside his bosom and split into hundreds of little Guangs with tiny lights in each of them, dancing around the blade in spirals.
“Xiao Guang, no!”
Guang seemed to not hear him as the bad light blob was finally close enough for him to strike down, and he did, unwilling to miss that chance to attack, unknowing if he’d have another chance to do so.
Bright striking light erupted from the gem as it shattered, and the slime-like substance around it also dissipated into nothingness.
The weight of his blade seemed to have changed, as well as the feel and colour of it. The entire thing started to emit a soft glow, allowing it to be seen even in the pitch black.
He hadn’t even had the time to mourn the disappearance (or, more likely, death) of his Xiao Guang before the edges of this darkness seemed to crack, the bits beyond being enveloped in a brighter light that only tormented him further.
When he finally looked in front of him, he found a scroll that emitted the same unfeeling light as the evil blob had, and not the warmth that Xiao Guang did.
He reached out hesitantly to touch it, hoping it wasn’t anything bad.
The second he made contact with it, the small cracks at the edge quickly sped up, and a huge crack appeared, as though it were suddenly smashed, and then, he saw white.
Maybe, he hoped, he’d return to proper living now.
Then, he lost consciousness.
Oh noo!! Xiao Guang is gonee QAQ
… or maybe…?
And then the montage est fini
