Ye Bing faced the bone spikes shooting toward her. Rather than retreating, she advanced to meet them.
The bone spikes struck the ice shield condensed by the Plum Blossom Fan.
Cracks immediately spread across the ice shield.

Seizing the opportunity, Ye Bing darted to the right, barely evading the bone spikes hurtling toward her.
However, the direction in which she dodged happened to lie behind Jiang Shi's position.

Boom!
The deep-blue ice pillar crashed into the shield condensed
