Let Me Do It

At that moment, the two faced each other. As their eyes met, Lu Qingxue's cool, startled gaze happened to meet Mu Fan's calm eyes.

"You..."

"Add four more."

Mu Fan spoke softly, a faint smile curling at the corner of his mouth. But it quickly turned into a muffled groan as his body shuddered violently.

Everyone, including Lu Qingxue, finally understood what Mu Fan intended to do.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Countless bursts of fire exploded behind Mu Fan.

Mu Fan's body had happened to shield Lu Qingxue from every Fire Fist attack.

The spreading shockwaves no longer carried their violent force or scorching heat. They merely lifted Lu Qingxue's silky hair.

She clearly saw the instant Mu Fan's pupils contracted, and she could distinctly feel his hands tightening around her shoulders.

Sizzle...

Green smoke rose from Mu Fan's back, reflected in Lu Qingxue's clear eyes before turning completely into endless, icy killing intent.

"He actually played the hero and saved the beauty... Well, that truly surprises me."

Seeing the rising smoke, Sa Yaru, seated some distance away, shook his head and clicked his tongue in wonder.

"It seems I would have even less of a chance in a fair competition, wouldn't I? Fortunately, I was never competing in the first place. Hehehe... Hahahaha."

A sinister laugh rang out.

"Hm?"

This time, Li Du beside Sa Yaru did not laugh along with him. Instead, he let out a puzzled sound.

"What is it, Li Du?"

"Flame Impact Fist didn't punch through him."

The burly giant shook his head, staring doubtfully at the curling green smoke.

"Are you... all right?" When she saw the Fire Fists filling the sky, Lu Qingxue had never expected Mu Fan to appear before her like this and use his body to block those scorching fists.
