Meanwhile, Xiao was quickly moving through the mountains with the weakened Mengxi, trying to get as far away as possible from Yumo's location. Undoubtedly, Xiao was deeply concerned about Yumo's current situation, but his rationality wasn't overwhelmed by worry.
Xiao knew clearly, With Asar now at the Ninth level, he couldn't possibly threaten her with his own strength.
To avoid being controlled as pawns by Asar, taking Mengxi away from the battlefield was undoubtedly the best choice. This way, even if Yumo chose to fight Asar later, she wouldn't be at too much of a disadvantage.
But, No matter what, Thinking about Asar's recent actions, a deep sense of self-reproach flashed in Xiao's eyes.
Damn it, How could I not have anticipated it was her?! She really could endure... Was that previous cowardly behavior all an act?
Her abilities and personality have changed too drastically... It's not normal.
