[Duck]
Duck?
Pei Xi vaguely seemed to hear Lin Shuguang's voice. Instinctively choosing to trust him, she controlled her body as it was flung through the air and lowered her head as far as she could. Almost instantly.
An icy aura swept past Pei Xi's ear.
Shhk-
The sound of flesh being pierced rang out with particular clarity beside her ear.
Pei Xi froze, her body tilted sideways in midair as she rapidly fell, before seemingly crashing into someone's arms.
Chang Hushan froze as he rushed over from afar. Bai Hu froze. Su Muyu froze. Even Xue Jing, who was preparing to lay down a new formation, stopped what she was doing. Everyone stared in disbelief as Lin Shuguang struck the Three-tailed Fox Demon with his saber.
With a ripping sound, flesh and blood flew.
The Three-tailed Fox Demon let out an exceptionally piercing, agonized howl and was sent flying by the strike.
In midair, an arrow from Chang Hushan shot out just as fiercely, combining with Lin Shuguang's lingering power to slam into the Three-tailed Fox Demon, adding to its injuries.
Rumble!
Like an artillery shell hitting the ground, the Three-tailed Fox Demon flew backward, snapping every towering ancient tree in its path.
"How long are you going to keep holding on?"
A familiar voice suddenly sounded beside her ear. Only then did Pei Xi realize in astonishment that she had been lying in Lin Shuguang's arms all this time, and she hurriedly jumped down.
"Thanks for just..."
Before she could finish.
Lin Shuguang had already disappeared from her side, unable to wait any longer. Saber in hand, he charged straight at the severely wounded Three-tailed Fox Demon.
Rumble!
All the acupoints in his body opened, his blood energy surged, and his flesh trembled and roared like a furnace.
