"Even though he's not the 'Little Li' of yore, this Divine Blade technique enacted in anyone's hands is still dreadful."
Liu Mu was not one to act recklessly. Heeding Xiao Chen's advice, he shielded his vital points with a few shards of colored jade.
Xiao Chen shook the sleepy Keke awake and said, "Don't run around once you wake up, wait here for us."
Keke, still half-asleep and blinking her big eyes, subconsciously nodded and returned to slumber.
Xiao Chen instructed the three skeletons: "You do not have to intervene tonight, but stay trailing us from a distance. In case we exhaust our strength, you are to carry us back."
The three skeletons nodded in understanding.
Xiao Chen and Liu Mu decided to hold nothing back for this imminent battle, readying everything necessary for the conflict.
On this starless night, darkness blanketed the forest, making it particularly eerie.
