The pain enraged Dugu Jing's beastly nature, and he let out a roar, wanting to tear Fengyu to pieces.
Xie Xun swept up his longsword and thrust it towards Dugu Jing, who reacted swiftly, suddenly blocking Fengyu in front of him and pushing her towards Xie Xun.
At the same time, he shot a sleeve arrow aimed at Fengyu's back. If she couldn't leave alive, then he'd kill her.
Xie Xun had to kill Dugu Jing, and Fengyu was doomed.
Kill his arch-enemy or protect Fengyu?
In a flash, Xie Xun wrapped his arms around Fengyu, barely dodging to the side and shielding her in his embrace. He turned to block the sleeve arrow, which pierced into his back.
The two fell by the riverbank, amidst jagged rocks. Enduring the intense pain, Xie Xun placed a hand under Fengyu's head to prevent her from getting hurt.
Dugu Jing drew a dagger, tossed it on the ground, and mounted his horse.
Seeing the sleeve arrow in his back, Fengyu's heart ached intensely, "Xie Xun..."
