Chapter 358: Serene Smile
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yi Yun looked on helplessly as Shen Tu Nantian’s hand went to grab her. Shen Tu Nantian’s motion was not fast, but he did not need to be that fast to destroy a mortal’s mind.
No——!
Yi Yun shouted in his heart. He buried his hands deep in the rubble as his eyes nearly bled, but he was still completely powerless to prevent this scene!
At this moment, Yi Yun’s body was in complete pain. His energy was still being locked by Shen Tu Nantian so he could not use his Yuan Qi. Even if he could use it, against Shen Tu Nantian, Yi Yun’s strength was negligible. He had no doubt that if he were to challenge Shen Tu Nantian’s authority again, not only would he not be able to save Jiang Xiaorou, he would also end up dying together with her!
At that moment, Yi Yun deeply felt how minute his existence was!
Because of his minuteness, he could be kneaded by others in any way.
Because of his minuteness, he could not protect the people he wanted to protect.
Strength! He needed strength! He needed time to grow, but… now, it was too late!
Time seemed to freeze as Shen Tu Nantian’s hand came pressing onto Jiang Xiaorou’s head without any resistance. It was as if this strike was shattering Yi Yun’s own heart!
Jiang Xiaorou closed her eyes. She had calmly accepted this approaching fate of hers. At the last moment, she was praying for Yi Yun to be fine. That, after her death, Shen Tu Nantian would not harm Yi Yun.
And at the moment Jiang Xiaorou had resigned herself to fate, something strange happened. Murderous intent covered everything!
“Huh!?”
Shen Tu Nantian suddenly turned around and slammed his palm to the back, “Who!?”
“Pa!”
A loud explosion, which sounded like glass breaking, boomed out. Shen Tu Nantian’s body trembled as he retreated. Before him, there now was a thin grey figure attacking him!
In his hand was a short, black, curved saber that was slashing straight at Shen Tu Nantian’s neck!
“Uncle Zhou, you…”
When he saw who it was that attacked, King Chu was dumbfounded. His guard and steward actually attacked Shen Tu Nantian!?
Uncle Zhou had previously saved King Chu’s life in a mystic realm!
