Jiang Wang still looked back.
He knew the danger, and he was clear that turning back meant a slim chance of survival.
But no matter what, Bai Lian had once saved his life, and he couldn't just walk away.
He was unable to pretend ignorance of her predicament, unable to turn a deaf ear.
He lurked cautiously, not daring to reveal a hint of fighting spirit to avoid detection.
But the battle between Bai Lian and Ji Xuan was formidable.
He couldn't even withstand the remnants of their power, so he retreated again and again, circled around and around.
He kept looking for an opportunity, but a battle of this magnitude was beyond his capacity to join.
He shifted positions countless times, sought countless angles, and still couldn't find an entry point.
He held onto his sword for a long time, yet the sword could not leave its sheath!
He was waiting, waiting for that earth-shattering strike, waiting for the chance of that most splendid moment.
