Chapter 193: Saving Xu Liang (2)

Reon groaned as he hit the ground, dazed for a moment.

He looked up, trying to get a clear view of whoever had tackled him—but the room was dim, offering almost no light.

The bamboo torch had slipped from his hand during the sudden shove and had gone out.

'Damn… I can't move at all. She's freaking strong even without using a trace of Spiritual Qi!'

He cleared his throat, trying to stay calm.

"Hey, hey… Sister Xu Liang? Can you hear me?" he called out gently.

No reply came.

Then—he heard it.
