Chapter 4478: 5.0230 Substitution Charm

"Luo He, what's going on?" Gu Yixuan, holding Mu Xiaoxue's drooping hand, anxiously glanced at his Junior Sister.

Just now, after Mu Xiaoxue spat out a mouthful of blood, her entire face turned deathly pale, and she had fallen unconscious.

Everyone was startled by this sudden turn of events and frantically helped support the little princess. If anything happened to her, they truly wouldn't be able to account for it to the Great City Lord upon their return!

Luo He's expression was also extremely grim.

Due to his miscalculation, Miss Xiaoxue had been injured, which left him feeling somewhat embarrassed and disheveled.

"It's... a Substitution Charm," Luo He cursed through gritted teeth. "She used a Substitution Charm."

He had been careless, not seeing when the little poker-face had used that Substitution Charm at all.

A Saint-grade Golden Substitution Charm!

It could help its owner 100% transfer all incoming attacks.

This meant that the two dual Soul-Reaping Charms he had cast earlier had their full power directed towards Miss Xiaoxue.

If he hadn't reacted in time to have Elder Zhuang set up a barrier to protect her, and coupled with his last-ditch effort to use a rebound charm on Miss Xiaoxue, absorbing most of the power onto himself...

If not for this series of remedial actions, Miss Xiaoxue would likely be a cold corpse right now, instead of merely severely injured.

Luo He's eyes were bloodshot. He clenched his fists, staring intently at the indifferent little girl in front of him, his fingers trembling. He angrily pointed and roared, "What a vicious, venomous, and resourceful girl!"

Luo He was so enraged he couldn't speak further.

Gu Yixuan anxiously urged, "What exactly happened? Luo He, why aren't you speaking? What just happened?"

"She, this woman, just used a Substitution Charm, maliciously transferring all the attack power from the two Soul-Reaping Charms onto Miss Xiaoxue!"

"What??" Zhao Yi, Gu Yixuan, and the other disciples of Shadow City erupted in an uproar and anger, clamoring one after another.

"Indeed, the hearts of malicious women!"

"Our Little Junior Sister is just an ordinary person with no cultivation whatsoever!"

"You attack an ordinary person; do you have no shame?"

"Truly shameless!"

Mo Lian sneered with a cold face. "You all mean that when you cast those so-called Soul-Reaping Charms, my wife should just meekly accept them and not resist?"

Young Master Fu San also couldn't help but scoff. "What kind of pig-headed person could say such a thing?"

"Can you all stop being so disgusting?" An Wushuang couldn't help but roll her eyes. She pointed at Luo He and said coldly, "Especially you! Why are you acting like a pitiful victim? Charm Master, you were the one who cast Puppet Charms on the others earlier, right?"

"What do you want to do by controlling those people?"

"You can't deal with my sister-in-law now, and you blame who? That's because you exhausted too much charm power earlier trying to control all those puppets!"

"You!" Luo He wanted to say something more, but a surge of qi and blood within his body forced him to stop and quietly regulate his breathing.

"Don't change the subject!" Gu Yixuan roared with furious indignation. "Qiao Mu, you're truly becoming more and more uncouth!"

"You tell me, you've laid a vicious hand on a weak, ordinary woman who can't even tie a chicken. Do you deserve the respectful title of 'Sir'?"

"You're spoiled, willful, and bully the weak!"
