"Oh? And tell me, Xu Tianran… am I the only one who wears a mask?"
Her words slithered through the air, wrapping around his mind like an unseen coil.
Xu Tianran shivered.
That smile—gentle yet wrapped with daggers—sent a chill up his spine. She could see through him, past his masks, into the secrets he knew… and worse, the ones he didn't.

Golden radiance clashed against celestial might, explosions tearing through the night. Their figures blurred, vanishing and reappearing in flashes of devastation. Each strike sent shockwaves rippling through the forest, reducing trees to splinters, the heavens above trembling from their fury.
Liu Chenfu remained frozen, barely able to breathe.
Then—
"Two minutes."
