The fact that Xiao Chen had dared to stand before her made her wish him no harm. But the enemy was too strong, beyond anything she could withstand.

A black-gray venom arrow screamed toward them. Wherever it passed, the void shattered. Before it even drew close, a towering surge of Erl Power spread out like raging waves crashing down from the heavens, glimmering with bloodlight as gray mist filled the sky.
