Contrary to what Emerald Sparrow had thought, she had no intention of evading at all.
It would be more accurate to say that, although the contest with Xia Liang had lasted only a few brief exchanges, she had not moved even a step from beginning to end.
She watched the light from the spell techniques in Xia Liang's hands bloom, and then, amid the piercing roar, her mouth opened slightly to whisper:
"Protect me, Paw Eye."
No sooner had the words left her lips than her magic wand had transformed into a small, delicate tambourine. She grabbed the tambourine with her left hand and then lightly tapped on it with the fingertips of her right hand.
"Bang"!
The clear sound rang out, accompanied by a very fine ripple of pale red magic power that spread quickly like ripples on water and visibly, in part, neutralized Xia Liang's spell techniques.
Though it only neutralized a part, not completely, that was sufficient.
