The figure that had appeared out of nowhere was like a reaper harvesting lives. Wherever he swept past, Spirit Hall's experts fell in his wake.
After the Spirit Hall elder's warning, everyone else immediately went on guard, not only invoking Martial Soul Possession but unleashing all manner of Soul Skills as well.
Yet everything they did against this suddenly appearing figure was as futile as ants trying to shake a tree.
"Liu Guanyi!" In the face of danger, Hu Liena instinctively called his name, her beautiful eyes searching frantically, terrified that he, too, might have died at the figure's hands.
Meanwhile, Liu Guanyi—or rather, Fang Yuan—had a gleam in his eyes. He was not quite smiling, but he was close.
By the time the Spirit Hall elder sensed something amiss, Fang Yuan had naturally noticed it too. Yet his heart had only grown lighter.
This feeling—Tang Chen had definitely come looking for me!
While Tang Chen was busy disposing of the small fry, Fang Yuan did not rush to attack him. Instead, he first went over to Hu Liena.
After all, Fang Yuan knew exactly who Tang Chen was and why he had come. He and Hu Liena would definitely be Tang Chen's last targets, so there was no need to hurry.
When Hu Liena saw Liu Guanyi appear beside her, she could not help relaxing.
Having just obtained her Seventh Soul Ring, she had been in excellent spirits. But the sudden appearance of a powerful enemy and the devastating casualties among Spirit Hall's people had set her heart pounding with anxiety again.
Yet now that Liu Guanyi was beside her, she suddenly felt an immense surge of courage, seemingly out of nowhere.
*The worst that could happen was dying together with Liu Guanyi. But that didn't sound so hard
