With unified power, the two humans dashed forward and slammed their fists into the Soul Eater's side.
CRACK
A wet groan escaped the creature's throat. The impact sent the creature skidding back, its claws scraping the ground, yet it didn't collapse.
"BAO XIONG!" Liu Yan screamed the name when she saw the face of one of the two men. Her jaw tightened, fingers curled around the black sword's hilt as she took three sharp steps forward.
Leon stretched his arms forward as he moved beside her. "Don't interfere. If you do, the Soul Eater will come after you instead."
"Let it come!" Liu Yan shook off Leon's hands and burst forward, her boots pounding hard against the debris-filled ground.
Liu Yan closed the distance within seconds, raised the black sword. Swinging it downward, a purple ring of light shimmered alongside the blade as it hummed through the air.
The tip of the sword struck the ground with a sharp CLANG, sending sparks as it missed.
