At this critical moment, Yang Xue, frightened, grabbed the soldier tightly. Surprisingly, this act saved him from the knife that nearly hit his head.
The man saw the knife almost falling on the soldier's head but missed. Furious, he turned his knife towards Yang Xue. The soldier wanted to protect Yang Xue, but the person on his side had also aimed a knife at him. The soldier, ignoring the knife coming for him, directly went to pull Tang Yue.
However, he was still too slow; his shoulder was heavily slashed, blood flowing freely. The soldier, without a thought for his pain, was unable to protect Yang Xue. The blade was about to cut into Yang Xue's arm when she let out a loud scream and crouched down, dodging another slash.
