Chapter 115: A Clean Break
"Commandery Princess——" Xing Yu bellowed, lunging at the shadowy figure descending rapidly, leaving Zheng Haoyuan petrified until Xing Yu harshly pushed Zheng Nianru towards him, causing her to fall onto his body.
"Ah——" Still, Zheng Nianru’s arm was gashed open by the shadow, the searing pain transmitting to all her senses instantaneously. The unbearable pain turned into a mournful cry that echoed out.
"Nian Ru——" Nanmen Yu’s expression changed as he leapt forward, and several Nanmen Death Soldiers skillfully bypassed him. A black net quickly opened in the air, and by the time they surged forward, the net had already been cast over the shadow.
"Cackling——" Immediately, the shadow abandoned its target on the ground, struggling to flee. However, delicate as the black net appeared, it was incredibly sturdy. Moreover, the net was coated with a unique concoction; once the shadow touched the black net, its skin seared as if burned.
A few Death Warriors did not dare to get too close, merely pulling on the black net from a distance, as if they feared the shadowy figure within the net.
Nanmen Yu had already rushed into the crevice in the wall, only to find it narrower than he had anticipated.
"Nian Ru, how are you?" Nanmen Yu asked anxiously. Zheng Nianru was sitting on the ground, her injuries unclear, while Xing Yu had fainted closest to him.
As Zheng Nianru regained some consciousness from Nanmen Yu’s pulling, her arm hurt greatly, but her fear of death was even stronger. Watching the shadow being trapped, she knew it was the best chance to escape.
"Cousin Sister——" Zheng Haoyuan also realized this, struggling to help Zheng Nianru up, slowly making their way towards Nanmen Yu.
