At the critical moment, Tang Ye reached out and firmly grasped the sharp spike. Then, as he tilted his head upward, the wall behind Lu Xiaojie tore open, revealing several insect-like appendages that burst forth, pinning Lu Xiaojie against the wall and leaving her completely immobilized.
Tang Ye glanced at the sharp spike in his hand, which had emerged from Lu Xiaojie's spine, and remarked, "Not bad, this strength is almost on par with Old Xu's."
As he spoke, Tang Ye released the spike. However, just as he let go, another spike lunged at him, which he effortlessly deflected.
"Calm down."
"No!"
"Who is this 'she' you're talking about?"
"She is she! I am me!"
"Calm down."
Lu Xiaojie's eyes turned an intense red. After absorbing the water orb earlier, the whites of her eyes vanished entirely, replaced by an expanse of pitch black, completely obscuring the original whites and irises.
"Ugh... hah!"
