Bai Xiaoyao's aura erupted, and it seemed as if a white skeleton emerged behind her. With her hands shaped into claws, she lunged towards Lu Yu.
Seeing this, Lu Yu was about to intervene when Golden Cicada swiftly stopped him, stepping forward and forcibly taking Bai Xiaoyao's strike. With a crisp sound, Bai Xiaoyao's hand pierced Golden Cicada's body.
However, no blood came from the wound, only an immense flow of Human Path Fortune and Destiny emanated from it, spreading through Bai Xiaoyao's arm and engulfing her body.
"Ah," Bai Xiaoyao screamed, the Human Path Fortune and Destiny burning her body like flames. Countless black vapors rose from her body and vanished into the void, revealing a grim visage of skull where once was beauty.
Her gaze slowly cleared, complex emotions flickered as she looked at Golden Cicada in front of her, memories of their past flashing through her mind as her hands gently brushed his face.
