BANG—
Dust and smoke billowed as a figure shot out from the haze, slamming violently into a nearby tree.
Even though she was only grazed by the Sword Qi, its aftershock shattered Gu Xue's shield and tore multiple gashes into her equipment.
"Gu Xue!!!"
Jia Rui cried out at the sight. He had been about to turn back and help Lei Zhou, but seeing Gu Xue go down, he forgot all about his captain. Having long held a secret crush on her, he immediately rushed to her side to check her injuries.
Gu Xue's external wounds weren't severe, but the massive impact had caused her to stop breathing. Jia Rui immediately removed her helmet, then his own. He paid no mind to whether Li Hua would take the opportunity to attack, pressing his mouth to hers to begin artificial respiration.
