"Nieruo." Le Yu tied up his red hair with a cord, then waved at Nieruo like he was greeting a friend. "Good... afternoon!"
The instant he uttered the final word, his soft, boneless right hand suddenly yanked hard.

Though it was a counterattack while evading backward, the blade's momentum surged forward without pause. Its radiance resembled the Milky Way hanging upside down, slashing out a thunderous cherry dragon!
