The Pinnacle of Life

The battle was over.
It was only then that Alex turned around to look. He found a young woman standing on the treetops like an ancient chivalrous lady. She was dressed in black and looked to be in her early thirties. She looked delicate and well rounded, a definite peerless beauty in this generation. Except, her expressions were frigid.
“Thank you for helping me, Senior.”
Unexpectedly, the woman notched and shot an arrow directly at him.
The lighting fast golden feathered arrow was coated with dense Chi as it pierced through the air. Alex’s eyes widened, and his spiritual power burst forth, automatically activating his Mystic armor. The arrow seemed to slow down in his eyes drastically, and he could tell its trajectory.
‘It isn’t aimed at me!’ he immediately deduced.
The golden feathered arrow grazed his shoulder, hitting Byakko with a ‘thud.’
It had shot through his calf.

Apparently, when Byakko saw the grand elder killed, she knew that the situation was terrible. She had almost escaped, only to be hit by an arrow shot by the young woman in black. Then, she fell to the ground.
“Zoey!”
Alex held Zoey in his arms, and he could tell that she was in a bad condition. The treatment she needed couldn’tbe delayed any longer. On the contrary, Hailey only had a broken leg. Even if her entire knee had rotted off, he was confident he could still heal her.
However, Zoey had hit her head. Considering how young she was, there was no time to waste.
“Senior, in order to save her, I need to save her right away. Could you… Could you stand to watch for a while?” Alex asked the young female archer who had yet to alight the tree. Although he didn’t know who she was, she was most likely not an enemy as she had helped him.
More importantly, he felt a distinctive familiarity between them.
It’s just that he couldn’t remember where he had felt it before. Typically, it was hard to forget such a cold beauty of this level. But even after searching all his memories, Alex had not seen such a person before.
It was bizarre.
“Alright!” The young woman spoke. Her voice was clear and cold but sounded beautiful. It felt like it could impregnate your ears when you heard her say.
After she spoke, Alex saw her body falling lightly to the ground despite making no movements. She floated down to the ground like a real mysterious being, like a deity descending into the mortal realm.
Alex gave her a deep look, then ran as quickly as he could into the villa with Zoey securely in his amis. Soon, Alex used his own blood to draw 32 Zharvakko talismans on the ground and carefully placed Zoey in the middle of them.
But just as he was about to activate it, dizziness swam through his head.
‘Not good! The consequences of forcibly improving my level have arrived!’
Alex’s heart thumped wildly in his chest. To be honest, he wasn’t entirely sure how big a scale the backlash would be. The next second, though, he felt a sharp pain shoot through his organs, as though they were being moved and twisted around. Then, his heart thumped, and a wave of fresh blood poured out, one that he couldn’t control.
