Finally, on the sixteenth swing, Youlan could no longer hold on.
"Don't kill Sister Youlan! She can help you escape from Ten Thousand Flowers City!"
As the ice sword shattered, Youlan was temporarily unable to resist further, and as Qin Yuesheng was about to chop off her neck, Xuerong, who had been silent, suddenly shouted softly.
Qin Yuesheng's movement halted abruptly, and the Evil-Subduing Saber had already left a blade mark on Youlan's neck, with striking blood slowly seeping from the wound.
If Qin Yuesheng had withdrawn the blade a fraction of a second slower, the woman's entire head would have been decapitated by him.
With the Evil-Subduing Saber's blade pressed against her neck, Youlan's body trembled slightly, though so faintly that it was difficult for others to notice.
Qin Yuesheng glanced at Xuerong: "Is what you said true?"
