章節 280: Chapter 280: Body Tempering

A beautiful woman with brown hair and striking blue eyes had a mocking grin on her face.

For some reason, Gu Jin's heart skipped a beat, and she felt as if the woman was incredibly beautiful, more so than anyone she had ever seen.

She muttered softly,

"How beautiful..."

Hearing her words, the woman's eyes widened in surprise, and the mocking grin faded slightly.

But before Gu Jin could say anything else, another bolt of lightning descended from the tumultuous sky, aimed straight at her.

However, this time, before the strike could connect, an unseen force surged forward, deflecting the lethal energy away.

Gu Jin blinked, her eyes widening in disbelief as she looked up to see the brown-haired woman standing protectively in front of her.

"Stay behind me," the woman commanded, her voice authoritative yet soothing.

She raised a hand, and with it came a shimmering barrier that enveloped Gu Jin, blocking any further strikes.
