The fortunate thing was that the supremely powerful Winged King was absent. The winged people before him grew increasingly numerous. As the frequency of wing flapping increased, it seemed the weather itself changed, with dark clouds gathering and lightning flashing.
With raging wind and rain before him and thunder striking overhead, Wei Shou relied on his agility, using the giant axe for cover, striking out to deflect the raindrops.
He took the opportunity to retreat to the doorway, but under the winged people’s continuous attack, the axe formed from clouds quickly dissipated into the air.
Wei Shou threw out talismans, summoning his arc blade. Now he understood the situation – the bird people were numerous and powerful, with no backup, a clean escape was unrealistic. Killing one would not be a loss, killing two would be a gain!
Thinking this, he roared, disregarding the backlash of his own magical power, and spat a mouthful of blood onto the blade, raising it to strike—
At that moment, a hand reached from behind, two fingers touching the blade’s hilt, actually stopping his full-strength strike.
Wei Shou had no chance to counterattack and was pulled aside by that hand.
His heart sank, thinking he was doomed, but he saw a familiar side profile: “Senior Brother Xia?”
Xia Ruan Ning nodded slightly, standing in front of him. His empty right hand drew a half-arc in the air, a Tai Chi diagram emerging, carrying a sharp momentum that forcefully pushed back all the surrounding winged people, forming a barrier.
Xia Ruan Ning had always been more action than words. After this move, without a moment’s pause, he hooked his fingers. Wei Shou involuntarily released his grip, and the arc blade was now in Xia Ruan Ning’s hand. The blade’s momentum was like a rainbow, breaking through the water mist, thrusting forward.
In an instant, the sky resonated, clear light filled the view, and the blade’s might caused a hundred enemies to retreat, with no one able to withstand its edge!
Xia Ruan Ning flipped the blade, its tip piercing the ground between the two sides, standing with hands behind his back in complete silence, coldly saying just two words: “Hand them over.”
