"Good treasure!" The White-clothed Scholar's eyes lit up after checking the Resentment Word Apostle's mask he had pulled off. He had only heard of such treasures that injured the spirit without harming the body, and all such treasures were in the hands of powerful figures, none of whom he could afford to provoke.
After his strike missed, Yang Xiao found himself in a highly passive situation. He had understood the White-clothed Scholar's evasion; it was not done in a rush, using a person to block the attack was more about probing his offensive methods. Otherwise, that hit would never have reached him.
The Human Bone Staff's attack grew weaker as time dragged on. In fact, after the first swing missed, Yang Xiao had already lost his opportunity.
The White-clothed Scholar's eyes shone with greed, as he commanded his subordinates, "None of you move, guard the surroundings to prevent reinforcements. I will take care of him personally."
