Do you think you can escape my clutches? I have everything planned!

Ashen saw her panicked expression as he held her by the shoulder, bringing her close to himself before whispering into her ear: "Don't be afraid, I will save you!"

Veli didn't know how to respond to that as she just nodded, her heart fluttered upon being protected by Ashen like this.

Ashen, however, pointed his finger at the middle man's knee, who was closest to them before firing his Yin Finger Blossom Beam.

A focused beam of chilling darkness was shot from his fingertip, leaving behind a trail of small peach blossom petals.

The beam penetrated the dark robed man's knee, creating a hole in it.

The man had his vitality sapped away, his eyes rolling backwards as he fell unconscious with a thud sound.

Witnessing this scene, almost everyone had their pupils enlarged in horror and disbelief at what had happened.

Step!

With Veli in his arm, Ashen took a step forward, the sound resounding in the ears of everyone present.
