Just in the nick of time.
A figure in white, as fast as lightning, burst in between the man and the two young boys.
The man had gone mad by this point. With an aura that would kill gods and slay demons in his path, his claw-like hand grabbed directly onto the shoulder of the figure in white!
At the same time, a sharp cry rang out, "Jiuqing, get out of the way!"
Immediately after, the sharp glint of a sword struck the man from the side. Yu Jiuqing quickly struggled free from the man's grasp and took a large step back with the two children.
A spray of blood erupted in an instant, and the man collapsed to the ground with a THUD.
Jiang Chengyi didn't have time to check the man's condition. He strode past him, his face etched with anxiety. "Are you guys alright?!"
Yu Zihan and Jiang Zitao were still in a bit of a daze and answered blankly, "We're fine."
Yu Jiuqing also replied faintly, "I'm fine..."
"Fine my ass! Like hell you're fine!"
