The battle was over.
It was only then that Alex turned around to look. He found a young woman standing on the treetops like
an ancient chivalrous lady. She was dressed in black and looked to be in her early thirties. She looked
delicate and well rounded, a definite peerless beauty in this generation. Except, her expressions were
frigid.
âThank you for helping me, Senior.â
Unexpectedly, the woman notched and shot an arrow directly at him.
The lighting fast golden feathered arrow was coated with dense Chi as it pierced through the air. Alexâs
eyes widened, and his spiritual power burst forth, automatically activating his Mystic armor. The arrow
seemed to slow down in his eyes drastically, and he could tell its trajectory.
âIt isnât aimed at me!â he immediately deduced.
The golden feathered arrow grazed his shoulder, hitting Byakko with a âthud.â
It had shot through his calf.
Apparently, when Byakko saw the grand elder killed, she knew that the situation was terrible. She had
almost escaped, only to be hit by an arrow shot by the young woman in black. Then, she fell to the
ground.
âZoey!â
Alex held Zoey in his arms, and he could tell that she was in a bad condition. The treatment she
needed couldnâtbe delayed any longer. On the contrary, Hailey only had a broken leg. Even if her entire
knee had rotted off, he was confident he could still heal her.
However, Zoey had hit her head. Considering how young she was, there was no time to waste.
âSenior, in order to save her, I need to save her right away. Could you⦠Could you stand to watch for a
while?â Alex asked the young female archer who had yet to alight the tree. Although he didnât know
who she was, she was most likely not an enemy as she had helped him.
More importantly, he felt a distinctive familiarity between them.
Itâs just that he couldnât remember where he had felt it before. Typically, it was hard to forget such a
cold beauty of this level. But even after searching all his memories, Alex had not seen such a person
before.
It was bizarre.
âAlright!â The young woman spoke. Her voice was clear and cold but sounded beautiful. It felt like it
could impregnate your ears when you heard her say.
After she spoke, Alex saw her body falling lightly to the ground despite making no movements. She
floated down to the ground like a real mysterious being, like a deity descending into the mortal realm.
Alex gave her a deep look, then ran as quickly as he could into the villa with Zoey securely in his amis.
Soon, Alex used his own blood to draw 32 Zharvakko talismans on the ground and carefully placed
Zoey in the middle of them.
But just as he was about to activate it, dizziness swam through his head.
âNot good! The consequences of forcibly improving my level have arrived!â
Alexâs heart thumped wildly in his chest. To be honest, he wasnât entirely sure how big a scale the
backlash would be. The next second, though, he felt a sharp pain shoot through his organs, as though
they were being moved and twisted around. Then, his heart thumped, and a wave of fresh blood
poured out, one that he couldnât control.
âBlarghâ¦â
He turned around immediately, not allowing the blood to destroy the Zharvakko talismans that he had
drawn. The Chi in his body was also reducing rapidly.
He hurriedly grabbed a handful of Blood Pulls and swallowed them before condensing his spiritual
power and shooting it out toward the talismans on the ground.
âZharvakko Rejuvenation, activate!â
Outside, the young woman heard the movement and had rushed in. When she saw Alex in such a
state, she was taken aback. She shouted in a cold voice, âAre you looking for death? Youâre already in
such a state, yet you still dare to save people?â
Alex ignored her.
Zoey had to be fine, or he would feel the guilt eating away at him for the remainder of his life. And he
wouldnât be able to face Charles or Hailey.
Seeing how Alex was still pushing himself, the young woman stomped her foot and bit her red, plump
lips. Then, she placed a palm on his back, and a vast wave of unmatched spiritual power frantically
gushed into Alexâs body.
Alex was shocked, an incredulous look on his face as he turned to look at the young woman. âYouâre
really strong in cultivation, senior. Have⦠Have we met somewhere?â
