With his formidable foe gone, Zhao Yuan could no longer hold on and collapsed to the floor.
He gasped for breath as he thanked Zeng Rui, "Thank you for stepping in. I would have been dead without you."
Zeng Rui smiled faintly and said with regret, "A shame she got away."
Zhao Yuan said, "It's alright. I have a feeling we'll meet again. When that time comes, I'll definitely settle this score with her!"
Zeng Rui nodded. She believed that the next time Zhao Yuan encountered Lingzi, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state.
Zhao Yuan's strength was increasing at a rate she had never seen before. She believed that when Zhao Yuan and Lingzi met again, Lingzi would be in for a huge surprise.
Zeng Rui pointed at the bones on the floor, which were writhing ceaselessly and trying to reform. She asked, "Someone's coming. What are you going to do with this pile of bones? Want me to destroy it?"
