All the surrounding crystals surged toward Ya. In an instant, they clung to the twin stingers in Ya's hands.
The two stingers became more ornate. What puzzled people was that Ya released them, allowing them to float in midair.

A wave spread outward. Ya clearly relaxed, but just then, a long blade slashed toward her neck. Su Xiao would never give Ya time to use her abilities.
With a swish, the long blade swept through Ya's neck, but there was no sensation of striking anything solid.
Su Xiao frowned slightly. As he leaped several meters backward, he swung his blade repeatedly.
