"Princess, your humble general will now depart."
Shi Jing bid his farewell to Chu Baihan and prepared to set out.
But in that moment, within the pool of blood, there still was a Shenxiao Guard who hadn't entirely succumbed to death.
Using his last ounce of strength, he hurled a throwing dart in their direction.
"Watch out."
Chu Baihan pushed Shi Jing aside, and she was also ready to dodge.
But just then, a figure sprang from nowhere, and took the dart for her.
"Pfft..."
Feng Shan spit out a mouthful of blood.
The dart was now embedded in his arm.
Shi Jing reacted swiftly, leaping towards the Shenxiao Guard and snapping his neck.
The hidden guards from the shadows immediately rushed over.
"Master, are you alright?" they asked anxiously.
"Check for survivors," Chu Baihan said sternly.
"Yes, Princess."
"Xinyue, how are you?" Chu Baihan supported Feng Shan, asking with grave concern.
