The blow delivered by Jin Shanshun was incredibly sudden, directly engulfing Ye Qiu.
It was only then that Cain reacted, springing into the air, leaving behind a fleeting shadow, as he charged to Jin Shanshun's front, grabbing both his arms, preparing to pierce his heart.
A voice cried out, "Wait!" echoing in Cain's mind, halting his extended hand in midair, as he turned, perplexed, towards the back.
Ye Qiu emerged from Jin Shanshun's attack, the fierce strike having posed no threat to him.
"Master, why don't you kill him?" Cain asked. He couldn't fathom Ye Qiu's thoughts, this subordinate had clearly betrayed them, why would the master spare his life?
"He's not doing it on purpose, he's being controlled by someone," Ye Qiu revealed the truth, leaving Cain startled.
