Before the words finished echoing, there was a thunderous explosion, like a bolt from the blue.
Chu Nianfang and Gu Nianxue were astonished to feel an indescribable terrifying power suddenly erupt in front of them.
However, this overwhelmingly powerful force was not aimed at them but swept directly toward Zhou Lan on the opposite side!
The pair of giant hands that had initially reached for them vanished instantly, and the two women's vision cleared once more.
They fixed their gaze and saw a young man standing ahead, dressed in a black long gown, elegant and graceful.
He stood with hands behind his back, his posture as straight as a pine, with a resolute and fearless expression.
Though he appeared youthful, he exuded an aura that made others instinctively want to rely on and trust him.
