"Luo Xiu—!"
Seeing Luo Xiu pierced through the chest with a sword by Luo Ying, Xu Qianqing screamed in horror, running toward him without a second thought.
"Qian Qing, don't come over!"
But Luo Xiu stretched out his hand and waved. An invisible surge of energy suddenly whooshed out, stopping Xu Qianqing's advance.
The Luo Ying before him was the only person he had encountered since descending the mountain who could pose a lethal threat to him. Facing such a powerful enemy, Xu Qianqing would not only be unable to help, but she would also become a distraction.
"Qian Qing, stay back... Quickly!"
With tears in her beautiful eyes, Xu Qianqing bit her lip and retreated into the distance.
Afterward, Luo Xiu endured the pain and gripped the crystalline sword piercing his chest. He pulled it from his torso with one hand, then immediately scooped up Xia Chan by the waist and leaped backward.
"Brother Luo, are you okay?" After landing, Xia Chan asked with concern.
