'Besides, given the current gap in their cultivation, he could crush her with ease. Why go to all that trouble?'

Xie Ningyuan seemed to have finished long ago. Seeing that her condition had stabilized, he spoke up. "Shall we go up now?"
Lu Sangjiu was about to nod when she froze, staring at the sky in astonishment. "Did... did something just fly past?"
Before Xie Ningyuan could answer, the giant python's heaven-shaking roar echoed from below, along with... the sounds of a duel.
