章節 669: Execution

Her eyes widened as she saw the little girl hold tight to the sword. In that moment, she forced out a word. 

"Run!"

But it was far too late.

The Hound had one hand on Ming Yue's neck; with the other, he balled up his fist and swung at her! He was far too quick for Rou'er to react. 

The young girl could only watch in fear, seeing it come closer to her. The best she could do was defend herself. Just as his fist came, Fei Xian arrived with barely a second left to react but he did not hesitate to stand between them, shielding Rou'er with his own body. 

The fist came, digging deep into his back though he endured it.

"Gah!"

But the gap in power was far too much for him. 

A shuddering crack came from within his body as he yelped in pain though he did not let go of Rou'er. Their bodies were thrown off to the side as Fei Xian crumpled on the ground.
