"Enemy attack!"
Su Ye jolted awake before the rocket was fired and immediately shouted a warning.
"Enemy attack!"
At Su Ye's warning, Xu Yiming roared and leaped into the air.
A longbow was already in his hands.
In an instant,
he drew the bow into a full moon.
The arrow streaked out like a meteor.
With a shrill whistle, it flew straight toward the rocket.
Boom!
The arrow slammed into the rocket in midair with a deafening blast.
Flames from the exploding rocket shot into the sky.
The musicians and backup dancers traveling with Xu Yinyin huddled together in terror.
Most of them were ordinary people. They had nearly been hit by a rocket—how could they not be afraid?
"Don't be scared. The danger's over."
Xu Yinyin comforted the musicians and dancers, though her own face was pale.
They had only just arrived in the Northern Barrens, and already someone had attacked them with a rocket.
No one would be in a good mood after that.
"Miss, is everyone all right?"
Xu Yiming landed and checked that no one was hurt before finally breathing a sigh of relief.
Then he cupped his fists toward Su Ye.
"Thank you for the timely warning, Mr. Su. You saved us from disaster."
Without Su Ye's warning, Xu Yiming would never have fired his arrow in time.
The rocket would have exploded right beside them.
As high-tier martial artists, they might have survived.
But many of the ordinary people would likely have been seriously injured or killed.
Thank goodness Su Ye had warned them in time.
Su Ye shook his head at Xu Yiming's thanks.
"Protecting Miss Xu is my job. But... who fired that rocket?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Su. I've already sent people after them!"
A cold glint flashed in Xu Yiming's eyes.
