Sure enough, Yuchenzi's eyes, cold as deep pools, narrowed slightly. A bone-chilling murderous intent all but burst from her body. Lu Changfeng's defiance had clearly enraged her.
But when she saw Lu Changfeng's utterly steady spear stance, sensed the loyal, valiant martial edge radiating from the activated Horizon Spear, and felt the extraordinary power of Five Elements Positioning bolstered by the Wind-Raising Formation...
