Seeing that Qin Yu had lured the demon beast over, Lu Sangjiu—who had promised to stand guard for Xie Ningyuan—turned and ran without a second thought!
As she fled, she even had the audacity to shout a warning, "Mr. Xie, run! The demon beast is coming! I can't stop it!"
Xie Ningyuan, who opened his eyes only to be face-to-face with a demon beast: "..."
'She had a sense of honor, but only a little.'
Seeing the demon beast already charging at him, Xie Ningyuan knew it was too late to run.
So, his fingers blurred through a series of hand seals. Just as the demon beast lunged, a Golden Seal slammed it to the ground.
Amidst the demon beast's furious roars, Xie Ningyuan calmly called out, "Mr. Qin, now's your chance!"
Qin Yu had no real grudge against Xie Ningyuan; he wasn't actually hell-bent on killing him.
So, seeing an opportunity to strike back, he didn't hesitate and immediately unleashed his most powerful sword attack.
