As for the muddy restraints pinning her legs, Bai Xifeng did not even use a rune. She simply channelled her physical strength, kicking them apart forcefully and freeing herself from the earth trap without much difficulty.
Just as Bai Xifeng was preparing to launch a counterattack, her sharp senses suddenly detected multiple bursts of sharp spiritual energy rapidly approaching her blind spot at high speed. Without hesitation, she immediately threw out a defensive rune, activating a translucent golden shield around herself.
The incoming hidden attacks turned out to be sharp, piercing wind arrows. They came from Xie Zixin, who had been waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
Crack! One of the high-velocity wind arrows struck the shield hard enough to create visible, spiderweb-like cracks across its glowing surface. Bai Xifeng immediately scanned the area, attempting to locate Xie Zixin's exact position, but she could not find him anywhere nearby.
