The longsword smoothly struck Lin Tian's wrist, but Xiao Manxue didn't feel the solid impact she expected—the blade instantly passed through the wrist, yet there was no sign of Lin Tian in sight.
"This is just a shadow!" Xiao Manxue internally exclaimed in shock.
"Hehe, Miss, don't get distracted." Lin Tian suddenly appeared beside her, chuckling slyly.
Before Xiao Manxue could react, Lin Tian's hands were already on her arm and shoulder, he hoisted her up forcefully and executed an over-the-shoulder throw.
Although Xiao Manxue tried desperately to adjust her body in midair, she couldn't withstand Lin Tian's immense strength and slammed heavily against the trunk of a large tree, making a "boom" sound.
The tree trunk couldn't withstand the force of the impact and snapped in half, while Xiao Manxue rolled to the ground.
"Cough cough..." Xiao Manxue quickly stood up, coughing a few times. The impact had made her breathing rough, and her inner qi and blood churned.
