Sang Luo had just arrived in a Demon City when she was ensnared by a giant Nine-headed Demon Lizard.
The battle was grueling.
This Demon Beast was actually at the Emperor Rank!
She knew her own limits. She couldn't win—fleeing was the best option!
Nine long tongues shot out, wrapping tightly around her body and pulling her swiftly toward its maw.
A tall, black-robed figure appeared out of thin air.
A Demon Bow materialized in his hand, and he fired an arrow at the Demon Lizard.
The force binding her body suddenly loosened. Just as Sang Luo was about to be flung to the ground, a slender hand caught her securely, pulling her into an embrace as they landed in a safe spot.
He made no move to let her go.
Sang Luo stared at the newcomer in astonishment. He was draped in a pitch-black cloak and wore a mask that revealed only a delicate, porcelain-white chin.
"You shouldn't have come here." The voice was grating and hoarse, its gender and age impossible to discern.
