The Brahma Flower Silk shot out, tangling with the Buddha Beads.
The pale green light of the Brahma Flower Silk contended with the golden glow, and for a moment, they were evenly matched.
The white-robed man's figure vanished, reappearing behind Su Ye.
He struck out with his palm, aiming for Su Ye's back.
Although he didn't intend to take her life, he didn't want to let her off easy either.
'Anyone involved with *that* person deserves to be punished.'
But...
Su Ye's steps faltered slightly. A hexagonal golden light flashed on her back, and she was completely unharmed.
But it was the white-robed man who suffered. With a soft squelch, a slender hand gripping a black dagger plunged into his abdomen.
The strike was timed perfectly, landing at the exact same moment as the white-robed man's palm.
It sank deep into the white-robed man's abdomen, half the dagger disappearing into his body.
He stared at the hexagonal golden light flickering behind Su Ye, his thoughts unreadable.
