Chapter 5223
"She really is one of the Hexa Swordmaidens. I can't believe she could take down so many
people while surrounded. How terrifying. However, I'm pretty sure the sword chant took up
a great deal of her energy."
Amidst everyone’s shock, Lumi could be seen with a pale face, and her slender body was
trembling. It was evident that the last terrifying sword chant she summoned had used up a
great deal of her internal energy, and she did not have much of it left.
Upon discovering that, Martin could not help but shout, "Quick! Her internal energy's
almost gone. Let’s strike at once, and take her down. Whoever becomes the first to take
her down will have the right to do whatever they want with her."
In response, the crowd rushed forward in a crazed manner.
They had guessed correctly. Lumi had lost a severe amount of internal energy, and could
not take upon the attacks of the incoming throng.
Within seconds, she had been stabbed twice, blood gushing out instantly.
The pain from her wounds grew by the second as she jerked, stumbling backward as her
face paled even more.
At the sight, Darryl could not quite keep his calm anymore. To tell the truth, the Hexa
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSwordmaidens were indeed cold and ruthless, but they were not deserving of death.
More importantly, Darryl could not bear to watch a pure, untainted woman be humiliated
that way in public.
Haha...
Just then, a sect member rushed in front of Lumi with a cunning grin on his face, looking
her slender body up and down without holding back in the slightest.
"One of the infamous Hexa Swordmaidens is about to be at my mercy.
Gosh, what an exciting thought. Don't worry, you pretty thing. I'm not going to hurt you as
long as you behave."
As his words rang through the air, the pupil sped up as he reached out to grab Lumi’s
wrist.
Bastard...'
Under the circumstances, Lumi was nothing but broken and enraged, yet her body was
unbelievably frail, and she could not duck in time. Amidst her hopelessness, she closed
her eyes.
Was one of the great Hexa Swordmaidens really going to land in the hands of those
people? She would rather die than have that.
At the thought, Lumi gripped her long sword, swinging it toward her neck.
Indeed, Lumi was planning to end her own life there and then. However, she was a strong
woman and would rather die than be taken advantage of.
What?
Seeing as Lumi was about to take her life, everyone, including Martin and the other elites,
got the shock of their lives. They would have never guessed that the woman would be so
strong, choosing to die over being at the mercy of others.
"What a foolish woman!"
Just as the sword was about to slice through her neck, a magnetic voice blared from not
far away.
It was closely followed by a powerful energy exploding from not too far away, appearing in
front of Lumi like a flash of lightning and raising a hand to slap the sword out of Lumi's
grasp and onto the ground.
Following the crisp sound of the blade landing on the ground, everyone's gazes landed on
the culprit. All that could be seen was a tall and straight figure whose face was covered by
a cloth.
Despite his face being less than visible, his eyes shone through like the brightest stars in a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnight sky, radiating an aura of omnipresence.
Indeed, it was Darryl.
To tell the truth, Darryl did not wish to show himself, but could not bear to see Lumi end
up like that, so he took the risk to rescue her. He covered his face with a black cloth to
prevent himself from being recognized, i
After all, many of the sects knew Darryl. Hiding his identity would save him a great deal of
trouble, 1
Lumi stopped short, staring at Darryl with a dazed expression on her face." You... Who are
you?"
The Hexa Swordmaidens wandered the world for many years, and they never made any
friends during the entire time due to their cold, stuck-up demeanor. That was why Lumi
was so confused about someone standing up to help them in those conditions.
Darryl smiled lightly, saying in a deep voice, "Don't speak. I'll get you out in a bit."
As he spoke, he glanced around him, taking in the elites before him.
"Who are you?"
Just then, Martin was the first to come to his senses. He stepped forward, calling out to
Darryl loudly.
"How dare you meddle in the business of others?! Have you considered the
consequences?"
