"Touch him, and die!"
A cold, imperious declaration rang out like ice cracking and silk tearing, abruptly ripping open a fissure in space before Chen Jue.
Through it came a woman of peerless beauty and aloof grace.
She seemed to have descended from beyond the highest heavens, an inviolable aura surrounding her.

A barely perceptible trace of gloom and bitterness flitted through her eyes, clear as autumn waters.

The Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King, the overlord clad in blood-colored wings.
The instant he caught sight of Gu Yuena, he involuntarily trembled and quietly shifted half a step
