Standing on his flying sword, Qin Yun charged down and saw Yi Xiao's figure. There was blood seeping through her robes and her face was pale. There were three layers of hazy haloes suffusing her surface but she was slumped to the ground, strengthless.

"My protective Dharma treasure, Protective Armor Spell, and the protective powers in my robes were destroyed in one strike?" Yi Xiao attempted to cast a Protective Armor Spell again but the pain in her meridians prevented her from succeeding.

The chain was already lashing down at her!
