Lu Yin was speechless. He wanted to leave, but he wasn't confident he could break through the palace's illusory blockade. It was the manifestation of White Knight's ten talents combined, powerful enough to clash with Blood Madman's Blood Lotus, the Corpse Dragon, and the white sun Shang Rong had created. There was no way he could withstand it.
Although White Knight had been badly wounded, she had recovered somewhat over the past three days. Lu Yin wasn't confident he could deal with her.
He should've left before she woke up. Why had he waited until now?
With his back to one of the Ten Arbiters, Lu Yin still felt uneasy. He immediately activated the Heavenly Star Art, lest he be caught off guard by a sneak attack.
When White Knight saw him turn around, she didn't release her domain either. She let out a breath, and the star energy around her surged. Then she began stripping off her armor, piece by piece. The armor on her arms, chest, and head came off easily. But the pieces covering her legs and back clung so tightly that removing them was like tearing off a layer of skin.
Shang Rong's power lay in disintegration. The white sun had badly injured her, disintegrating patches of skin on her back and thighs. Some of her flesh had fused with the armor, causing excruciating pain.
"Mm." White Knight groaned, gasping as she slowly peeled the armor from her legs.
Lu Yin's expression turned strange. What was she doing? Those gasps and groans brought certain things to mind. He badly wanted to turn around and look, but didn't dare.
"Mm." White Knight's pained voice grew louder as she removed the armor from her back. She looked up at Lu Yin and saw that he hadn't turned around.
