Nangong Wan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Her five viscera and six bowels felt as though an invisible giant hand had seized them in a crushing grip. The web between her thumb and forefinger split open at once, and her sword slipped free with a mournful whine.
Like a kite with its string cut, she was flung away by the tremendous impact. She smashed through several trees before crashing heavily to the ground.
"Take her alive!"
Shi Yan's cold voice rang out.
Numerous Maha Tribe warriors pounced upon the fallen Nangong Wan like leopards.
At the brink of life and death, a flicker of resolve flashed through Nangong Wan's eyes. She abruptly crushed a jade talisman she had kept hidden in her sleeve!
A dense cloud of white mist instantly exploded outward, carrying intense spatial fluctuations and a pungent odor.
The smell rushed into their noses, making their heads spin and their vision blur.
By the time everyone reacted, Nangong Wan had vanished from the spot, leaving behind only the blood she had sprayed.
"A Smoke Escape Talisman? She was willing to pay quite a price."
Shi Yan gave a cold snort and did not order anyone to pursue her deeply.
Being able to severely wound Liuyun Sect's iron-blooded commander and force her into a bedraggled retreat was already an enormous victory.
"Clan Chief Shi Yan is mighty!!"
"Wonderful killing!!"
"Liuyun Sect scum, did you see that? This is retribution!!"
The alliance warriors erupted into earthshaking cheers, their gazes toward Shi Yan filled with fervor and reverence.
In this battle, one of Liuyun Sect's core elite forces had nearly been wiped out, while its commander had fled with grave injuries.
Since the Jiangshan Alliance had been founded, this was its heaviest and most morale-boosting blow against Liuyun Sect.
