Jian Ruyi was startled by the sudden attack but she reacted instantly, drawing her sword and slashing toward the invisible blade.
Ting!
Sparks flew as steel met steel and a sharp gust of wind burst outward as Jian Ruyi managed to block the strike.
But instead of relief, anger flashed across her face as she turned toward Liu Yanyue.
"What are you doing?!" she shouted at Liu Yanyue who just stood there and frozen, as if she had seen a ghost.
Jian Ruyi's expression darkened at the sight.
Someone at Liu Yanyue's level should have been able to handle that attack easily as it felt more like a greeting than a killing strike.
But Liu Yanyue didn't seem to hear her at all.
Slowly, she turned her head toward the direction the attack had come from.
"Senior brother…?" she murmured, her voice trembling with disbelief.
From the distance, Yan Moxuan stepped forward with a bright smile spreading across his face.
