Just then, her blood surged, clearly aggravating her previous injuries, and a smear of blood spread across her veil.
Feeling that the opponent's originally solid defense was weakening, Zuan was overjoyed and hurriedly pressed his advantage.
Feeling the essence within her body flowing into the other's body, a resolute glint flashed in the woman's eyes. Since that's the case, then let's all perish together!
Zuan was confident of victory and breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he realize that the woman in his arms had a cascade of long hair.
"..."
He suddenly felt a bit of a headache; this flood had washed away the Dragon King's temple!
Ultimately, it was because the gaps in the artificial hill were too narrow and too dark, and he couldn't see very clearly. In addition, he had just been on the verge of life and death, so he had no time to care about anything else.
He hurriedly stopped absorbing the other's essence and asked, "Are you Yun Jianyue?"
Upon hearing the name, the woman's eyes grew even more determined. How could someone as proud as her become a prisoner and be humiliated by others?
Sensing a turbulent undercurrent within her body, a terrifying potential for eruption, Zu An was startled and quickly said, "I am Qiu Honglei's friend."
"Red Tears?" The woman was taken aback, clearly not expecting the other party to mention her apprentice.
Feeling the burst of energy within her subside slightly, Zu An breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, I just rescued her from the palace. She entrusted me to rescue you."
"When will Red Tears meet the Embroidered-Robed Envoy's friend?" Yun Jianyue suddenly had a thought. "You are the Embroidered-Robed Envoy from the Eastern Palace who took my sword?"
Given her status and perspective, gold, silver, and bronze medals might make a big difference to others, but to her they were all just embroidered-robe envoys, the emperor's lackeys, so naturally she wouldn't bother to remember them.
Zuan chuckled awkwardly, "Senior has a really good memory."
Yun Jianyue was now almost convinced: "Hmph, if I had known I would kill you with one sword back then, it wouldn't have caused such a great disaster now."
She was also very frustrated. Before, she could easily defeat her opponent with a single sword strike, but the tables had turned, and she was subdued by her opponent so quickly.
Zu An was startled, realizing the subtext in her words: "Senior, you showed mercy back then?"
Yun Jianyue sneered: "If I hadn't noticed that you had used the 'Mirror of Truth' technique, do you think you would still be alive?"
The Mirror is Not a Platform is her ultimate skill, which she only taught to her disciple Qiu Honglei. So when she saw him use it, she was surprised and moved her flying sword a few inches to the side.
Zuan said with lingering fear, "Looks like I was really lucky."
Just as Yun Jianyue was about to say something, a group of guards suddenly shouted from not far away: "Who's there?"
