Today's fourth update: Chapter 3608! 4/4!
Faced with the formidable enemy charging straight at her and the terrifying Wind Pressure capable of shredding refined metal into scraps, Xu Buwan did not even raise an eyebrow.
She even had the leisure to tilt her head slightly and glance at the distant battlefield, where Xu Caiyi was locked in an intense battle with the Eight Saints, fist shadows crisscrossing everywhere.

Alarm bells exploded wildly in his mind. He wanted to pull back, unleash Wind Thorn, deploy every defense he could possibly muster...
