Buzz!
The longsword tore through the air, thrusting straight toward Ma Zhong's heart.
If this sword struck, Ma Zhong would be doomed without a doubt.
Beneath the arena.
Xiao Yi's expression suddenly changed. Just as he was about to intervene, a brilliant, dazzling light erupted atop the stage, condensing into a transparent barrier as clear as glass.
With a muffled thud,
the light on the barrier shimmered, forcibly blocking Xiao Yi's approach.
In that instant…
"Pfft!" The longsword had already slashed into Ma Zhong's chest. However, due to Xiao Yi's intervention, the Azure Serpent Lord was momentarily distracted and missed piercing the heart. Yet Ma Zhong still suffered a severe injury, his entire left arm cleaved off at the shoulder.
Blood spurted profusely from the wound on his shoulder, staining more than half of his body crimson.
The acrid stench of blood filled the air.
