This deacon of the Earth Master Association inherently held the advantage in strength, yet he shamelessly clutched a hostage in hand, rendering the middle-aged man's surrender only a matter of time...
But at that moment, chaos erupted.
The woman captured by Zhou Ruian suddenly "deflated" before their eyes, shrinking at a visible speed.
This was clearly not Zhou Ruian's doing. As he stared in stunned silence, the middle-aged man broke free from the circle that confined him, the blood-red True Qi on his body suddenly surging inches higher—a level stronger than before.
"You two, could you lend a hand? I'll repay you generously in the future!"
His gaze turned to the two bystanders watching idly from the side, seemingly placing his hopes on outsiders. Yet neither Cen Dongsheng nor the Chuma Immortal made any move.
