With a muffled thump, Xia Zhuoyi's body flew back like a kite that's string was broken.
"Zhuoyi!" The fifth princess flashed over to catch Xia Zhuoyi, but was also sent backwards by that surge of strength, and the two of them crashed to the ground.
Xia Zhuoyi groaned, lifting his head to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.
"Zhuoyi, are you alright?" The fifth princess asked with a sob, hugging Xia Zhuoyi tightly. Seeing his pale face and the blood at the corner of his lips, her heart clenched painfully.
"I'm fine. Get out of here, I will hold them off!" Xia Zhuoyi suddenly stood up. His figure was swaying as if he was about to fall, yet he stood in front of the fifth princess determinedly.
"No, you go!" The fifth princess knew that with his injuries, Xia Zhuoyi did not have any strength left to fight, and she went to stand in front of him protectively.
