"Brother, Ah Zhu is here to look for you and take you home."
The woman laughed loudly to the sky, and a huge force accompanied by countless wind blades gushed out, instantly cutting the nearest secret guards into two pieces.
Ten steps away, Xiao Nanhui only had time to throw herself down in a nearby depression. In the strong wind, she struggled to open one eye, only to see the last figure still standing beside the stone tower.
Yikong finally reached the stone pagoda. His robes were torn and his face was covered in blood, but his clear eyes looked unusually calm and resolute.
He took something out of the sheepskin box and climbed up to the top of the stone tower step by step.

After an unknown amount of time, a faint turbulence of air struck her from behind, silent yet carrying a heavy murderous aura. She pursed her lips, twisted her waist, and angled her right arm to block with her sword. There was a sharp sound of impact, and a powerful force pushed her back three steps.
