The long dress was stained crimson with blood, and there she lay, still as death.

Noa spat out a mouthful of blood and fled from the arena, but Luo Li had no intentions of sparing her.

He stepped out and gave chase, his Qi expanding and refined energy surging as he struck a forceful blow at Noa.

“No, Luo Li!”

“Noa!”

The crowd was on the edge of their seats, and a group of disciples from Elysian Hall trembled in fear.

No one expected Luo Li to cross the line and not only intimidate his junior but attack someone from behind. He didn't back off when she was already hurt and had no compassion or regard for the sect bond.

Rage was understandable, but Luo Li was still the sect's lead disciple and a senior disciple of Tang Xian. He was strong, with a background no one would mess with.

No matter how enraged Coman and the others were, they wouldn't stand up to him and look to the three elders who sat high up in their seats for help.

However, they didn't seem inclined to intervene and even deliberately averted their gaze, turning a blind eye to what was going on.

“It's over!”

“Noa is done for this time.”

“What if she sustains heavy injuries and has to leave the arena...”

Coman sighed woefully, and the crowd simultaneously cast her a pitiful look.

Blood trickled down from the corners of Noa's lips, and her gaze flew around in a panic.

She looked at the incoming blow, then at Luo Li, who was fighting for Sophia. Fear choked her, but an inexplicable despair rose from within.

She was suddenly envious of Sophia. She might have lost the competition, but she had love.

Wealth, prestige, and power weren't determinants of a woman's happiness; rather, it was having someone to fight for you when you shed tears during tough times and shield you from the storm.

Luo Li violated sect rules to seek revenge for the woman he loved.

She had no one. None.

Her father used to be her protector, but now she had nothing.

Sadness filled Noa, and she stopped fighting, closing her eyes and silently waiting for the blow to come.

In the moment of sorrow, a flash of white light streaked from the sky as fast and bright as lightning, striking Luo Li.

A loud bang resonated, and he lurched from the impact slamming into him, forcing him to pull back a few meters.

“Who is it? Which dumb*ss deres to interrupt? Show yourself!” Luo Li roered efter brecing himself.
