Chapter 279 Book 6 Victor
The monk, a shadow of his former impassive self, now radiated a subtle frustration. He knew Li An was at her absolute limit, yet she refused to fall.

He was weakened, but not out. Li An was truly surrounded, facing a relentless assault from the monk, a desperate Kui, and a soon-to-be re-engaged Jian.
