Chapter 5402

She swallowed one. Gentle spiritual energy steadied in her veins, yet her eyes never left the battlefield.

His taunt pierced the assembled cultivators. The brief spark of morale Yuliana’s victory had won guttered in the breeze.

Niall’s face flushed crimson. He lurched forward, only for comrades to yank him back. His energy was still shredded, another duel would be suicide.

A rich, booming laugh rolled over the hush. “A demon brat mouthing off? Allow me to teach him manners!”

A silhouette clad in blazing crimson vaulted from the rear ranks. He landed at center field with the fury of wildfire, sending a ring of dust spiraling skyward.
