Xiao Jie felt a surge of fear, his expression naturally shifting. Li Dai did not disappoint him either; moving with the speed of a blur, she controlled Xiao Jie’s movement with the power of her divine soul so quickly that she was barely visible. Naturally, the fragments of the golden blades lost their target, darting off in all directions through the chilling deep pool.
Just as Xiao Jie let out a breath of relief, he saw a stray blade coming straight at him from the side. By the time he reacted and realized the fragment was already right in front of his face, mere centimeters away, the worst part was that this fragment, gleaming with a cold golden light, was aimed directly at his eyes. If he failed to dodge and something sharp pierced his eye, even a tiny fragment could completely blind him, shattering his eyeball entirely. Even with the heaven-defying capabilities of a cultivator, restoring such a fragile area as an eye required sacrificing another suitable pair of eyes—either by gouging out someone else's living eyes or by using the eyes of bizarre Monster Beasts.
Both outcomes were completely unacceptable to Xiao Jie. Yet at this critical juncture, just as Xiao Jie thought he would feel excruciating pain and truly be blinded, an even faster purple blur flashed across his eyes. With a crisp "pop" and a buzzing sound, that fragment was intercepted by Li Dai's front fox paws at such a speed and distance. With a swift swipe, the fragment grazed past Xiao Jie's face.
