Hou Ruyen's expression was still with concentration, not letting her surprise show when the mysterious blindfolded man suddenly seemed to appear right in front of her. She still had enough time to raise her arms for a block, a fiery shield encasing her limbs to protect them from the slash of a sword.
Then came the second surprise.
The blade came down with such absurd force, the Jade Flower Elder thought she could hear her bones creak and crack. Alarms fired in her mind and without a second thought, she twisted her body for a roundhouse kick.
Only for her leg to be caught in Bai Hu's free hand. Cold sweat beaded at her brow as an inexplicable chill tickled her spine.
Just who was this man.
