Although he should be able to automatically escape from that state when attacked, he is inevitably going to be severely injured by the first strike.
He glanced at the people beside him, his expression slightly tense, and noticed the anomaly. Xie Xuanzhao stood next to him, with Mu Tuo and Tuoba Shou a bit further away, forming a protective stance around him.
The remnants of the demon, Shagu, and Zhu Jiu stood scattered at a further distance. Opposite Xie Xuanzhao, Mao Qi was standing with arms crossed, looking disgruntled at him.
Chu Xiu instantly realized what was happening. Mao Qi was undoubtedly planning to take this opportunity to strike at him. After all, regardless of how reliable Xie Xuanzhao's plan seemed, there were many variables, so it was better to kill Chu Xiu with a single blow while he was unprepared.
And the best candidate to execute this task was undoubtedly Zhu Jiu.
