True Person Xiangtian had barely cried out when the three-colored giant python swooped down upon Xiao Hua's back. Xiao Hua's Nascent Soul hand had just collapsed, leaving him no time at all to unleash any divine ability in defense. Boom...

"Xiao Hua..." True Person Yuanqing stood in midair, his divine sense sweeping over Xiao Hua's falling body. His brows furrowed
