In the arena behind Gu Qinghan, Hun Yan's smile vanished instantly as she faced the Boundless Purgatory Ruler Xiao Yan swung at her. Her expression changed abruptly, and she immediately raised a Space Barrier before herself, maximizing her defenses without daring to relax in the slightest.
Hun Yan had already personally experienced Xiao Yan's extraordinary nature in the Myriad Medicine Mountain Range. Unlike Hun Mei, she had learned her lesson.
Splat!!!
