Compared to their opponents, who were slow to dodge and sluggish in their movements, Su Jiu and Chu Luohen cut far more graceful figures in battle.
At first, the two fought in perfect synchronization. Whether raising a hand or taking a step, they moved as though they had planned it beforehand, their rhythm matched and their coordination flawless.
At that instant, an invisible aura seemed to form between them, one that no outsider could intrude upon.
One glance was enough to tell that they came from the same place. Even twins could not have matched their unspoken understanding.
If Su Jiu had once been surprised by this inexplicable rapport, she no longer was.
Ever since waking up, ever since accepting Little Gift's memories, she had understood better than anyone where their unspoken understanding came from.
Gold and blue light interwove. Even the angles at which their robes fluttered were almost identical, as though they had fought side by side countless times.
Su Jiu alone was already extraordinarily powerful. With Chu Luohen coordinating with her, the result was far more than a simple matter of one plus one.
They entrusted their backs to each other. Even surrounded tightly by dozens of opponents, they moved without the slightest panic.
No two people among their opponents could have achieved that kind of trust.
To them, it looked as though dozens of people were besieging two, but without coordination, they were really only fighting their own separate battles.
Their inability to communicate on an instinctive level even created invisible obstacles between them.
For instance, an art originally aimed at Su Jiu would strike the person behind her after she dodged...
"What are you doing? Why are you hitting me?"
"Are you blind? Don't you know to dodge when you see an attack?"
