"Jiang Shi! You!"
"Stop! Stop right now!"
"How could you attack Lu Xiaoqi!?"
"Murder!"
Lu Wangji stared at the young woman before him as she swung her blade at him, his face filled with disbelief. He had no idea what she was thinking. Hadn't Shang Yue and Jie Zilong made themselves clear enough? Didn't she understand what was truly best for him? Why insist on showing off her loyalty for a moment? Why insist on assassinating him?
Just because of the strength you gained from your recent Second Class Advancement?
Smack!
Jiang Shi unleashed two consecutive Moon Ring Slashes, cleaving through the first layer of Lu Wangji's Heart Protecting Mirror. Lu Wangji sneered inwardly. Not to mention that the Heart Protecting Mirror had seven layers of barriers in total, even if a barrier broke, he could immediately replenish it. With Jiang Shi's strength after only a Second Class Advancement and wielding a First Class Broken Blade, even if she emptied her spiritual power into the attack, she couldn't possibly break through his defenses!
He was a Third Rank Herald and a member of the Left Xiaoqi Guard. Who could kill him? Who would dare kill him?
It was only polite to return a greeting!
Serpent Hand · Hundred Refined Steel Fingers!
Although Hundred Refined Steel Fingers was merely a Third Rank Rare Token, the secret technique Serpent Hand allowed it to unleash one hundred and fifty percent of its power while greatly extending its attack range. Without any buildup, Lu Wangji's right hand instantly transformed into a venomous snake and struck toward Jiang Shi's head!
I'll use this move to break your Defensive Token and carve a lesson onto your pretty face that you'll remember for the rest of your life!
At that moment, Lu Wangji was filled with exhilaration.
