"Whoosh!"
Seizing the opportunity, Lin Taichu stomped hard and soared into the air, darting toward the longsword. He stretched out his right hand and reached directly for it.
"Clang!" However, a dazzling metallic gleam burst from the sword's surface, blocking Lin Taichu's hand completely and preventing him from getting any closer.
"Buzz, buzz..." The next moment, a strange ripple spread out, and a ring of light suddenly appeared around Lin Taichu, cutting off his attack.

Lin Taichu naturally knew that Jiang Jingxu had already learned of his escape from the Yunmeng
