Mu Xiao's struggles weakened, his movements slowed, and eventually, all of his struggling ceased.
Wen Jiaren could no longer bear it. While their attention was on the floor below, she quickly rushed at the Second Elder, attempting to rescue Mu Xiao from his grasp. However, the Second Elder reacted incredibly swiftly, moving his hand to dodge her, causing her to miss him completely.
A palm struck her from behind, and in an instant, she turned around and met the palm with her hand.
Despite Wen Jiaren's talent, she had only experienced spirit opening for just over a year. The Second Elder, similar in standing to Mr. Ding, clearly held the upper hand against her. However, the palm strike was too fast for her to dodge, so she had no choice but to brace herself and take the hit. With each step backward, blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.
The Second Elder snorted coldly, "A mere Dark Practitioner wants to snatch someone from my hands? Overestimating your abilities."
