Shuming wielded the Time and Destiny Laws, so his movement didn't consume time at all—especially at such a critical moment.
Almost in an instant, Shuming opened his bloody maw and swallowed toward that streak of radiance.
This time Shuming held nothing back and unleashed his full strength.
Crack-crack-crack.
That was the sound of space itself being bitten into fragments by Shuming.
Everyone else barely had time to react; only Jian San, who was the closest, had light explode in her eyes as her surging Sword Intent instantly broke through its restraints, then slashed one sword toward Shuming.
Unfortunately, it was already too late; no matter how fast Jian San's sword was, it couldn't outpace Shuming, who ruled over time.
The radiance was about to vanish into Shuming's mouth.
At that hair‑trigger moment, a figure suddenly appeared, and with one hand braced open Shuming's jaws.
"Xue An!" Jian San's eyes lit up, and she cried out involuntarily.
