"If he continues to grow, even my husband may not be a match for him!"
Determined to eliminate a powerful rival for Abe no Seimei, Mitsuki faced immeasurable pressure as she slowly approached Tang Yi. Her fingertips flickered with a cold light as she stabbed toward Tang Yi.
All of Tang Yi's mind and spirit were focused on resolving the "Heart-devouring Curse" within his body, seemingly unguarded against Mitsuki's attack.
Just as Mitsuki's finger was about to hit Tang Yi between the eyebrows—
Bang!
A golden light suddenly flashed around Tang Yi, blocking Mitsuki's fatal strike.
Protective Gang Qi!
However, at that moment, Tang Yi let out a muffled groan, with a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
Tang Yi had been wholeheartedly dissolving the "Heart-devouring Curse" within his body and was on the brink of success when Mitsuki's interruption not only caused all his efforts to be in vain but also led to a backlash.
