Laifu had no time to worry about his injuries just then.
The aftermath of the battle between him and Cao Xu had shaken the building to the ground, and golden flames scattered by Cao Xu's Flying Sword were strewn all around.
He hurriedly opened his mouth and inhaled, sucking all the golden flames into it.
Then, he prepared to summon a force to catch Lin Qingzhu, Ning Ruoxuan, and Zhu Xiyan as they fell with the collapsing building.
But just then, a streak of sword light beat him to it. It wrapped around Lin Qingzhu, Ning Ruoxuan, and Zhu Xiyan, then shot out through the collapsing building!
Wuxiang Zhenren, whom Cao Xu had grievously wounded earlier, had somehow recalled the Flying Sword that had been knocked away.
Though Wuxiang Zhenren was badly injured, carrying Lin Qingzhu and the others away on his sword posed no problem.
Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do for everyone else inside the building...
Many had been killed outright by the shockwaves from Laifu and Cao Xu's clash, while others were crushed by the collapsing building.
They had truly suffered for someone else's misfortune!
Seeing Wuxiang Zhenren fly off with Lin Qingzhu and the others, Laifu relaxed.
He glanced at his bleeding foreleg, then abruptly raised his head and glared at Cao Xu. Furious golden flames burned in his shattered-gold eyes!
Cao Xu was also staring at Laifu, his brow furrowed and his expression tinged with suspicion. He paid no attention to Wuxiang Zhenren and the others as they flew away.
Wuxiang Zhenren was only at the early-stage Nascent Soul level, and Cao Xu had already badly wounded him. There was no way he could escape with Lin Qingzhu and the others.
Cao Xu was even less concerned about the building crashing down around him.
