Bai Jingqiu stood amid shattered space, a longsword in hand, her waist-length black hair whipping wildly in the wind.
Feeling the powerful fluctuations of Zhao Ge's aura, her heartbeat sped up with tension, yet her gaze remained resolute.
Jiang Ping An emerged from a Shadow Clone beside her and said calmly,
"You said before that if you encountered danger, you would definitely run away on your own."
"There won't be any danger. I can hold him back. Hurry and leave!"
Bai Jingqiu urged him anxiously.
The enemy was very strong. She did not know how long she could hold him off.
If she sacrificed herself and Jiang Ping An had not fled far enough, he would be in danger as well.
Looking at the woman's profile, Jiang Ping An reminded her,
"You forgot—I can sense the emotions in your heart. There's no use lying to me. You know you can't stop him."
Seeing that Jiang Ping An was not leaving, Bai Jingqiu grew somewhat frantic.
"Forget about that! If you don't run now, neither of us will get away!"
Jiang Ping An remained calm, turning his gaze toward the Fifth-Order God King charging at them.
"You never had to come and risk your life with me. Now that danger has come, how could I possibly let you face it alone?"
She had not needed to come help him, yet she had followed him here without hesitation.
If he simply abandoned her here, that would be utterly inhuman.
Bai Jingqiu shouted angrily, "Do you want both of us to die here?!"
"We won't die. If the two of us fight him together, we have a chance of winning."
Jiang Ping An began circulating the Primordial Power within his body, preparing for battle.
"You're only a Fourth Level God King..."
