"Xiao Lan" suddenly moved, seemingly poised to attack Ke Xin and Qian Wang. I quickly grabbed a handful of Evil Repelling Talismans and threw them over, realizing there wasn't enough time to use the Summoning Talisman Technique. My only thought was to hold her off, even if just for a few seconds.
Fortunately, the Evil Repelling Talisman I threw had an effect, albeit a weak one. It merely caused "Xiao Lan," who was charging at Ke Xin and Qian Wang, to pause momentarily. But that fleeting hesitation was enough; by then, I had already positioned myself behind Ke Xin and the others. Since my mistake had caused this unnecessary trouble, I was prepared to face the consequences. I almost felt "Xiao Lan's" hands piercing my heart.
Turning my head, I saw that Ke Xin and Qian Wang had already left. I felt somewhat relieved, knowing that at least if I died, they would still be alive. I spread my arms wide, awaiting death's embrace.
