Behind Shu'er, a Dazi attacker climbed the city wall, sneaking up behind Shu'er and raising the large knife in his hand.
Pei Shu'er was intently adjusting the catapult in her hands.
When she saw the flash of the blade before her, Pei Shu'er quickly turned her head, realizing the Dazi's blade was already perilously close.
She pulled out her waterskin and took a sip of Spiritual Spring Water.
Everything seemed in slow motion; just as she swallowed, the blade brushed past her nose.
She hurriedly reached out to push the Dazi...
Tang Zan's heart raced, almost coming to a halt.
He snatched a bow and arrow from a nearby archer, fully drew the bow, and shot at the Dazi's head.
With a squelch, the Dazi's head was pierced through by an arrow.
Blood splattered on Pei Shu'er's pink attire, and a few drops landed on her cheeks.
Only then did Pei Shu'er, somewhat exhausted, glance in Tang Zan's direction.
