In Huang Zhong's mind, today's matter was caused by himself, and should be resolved between him and Ye Renjie. There was no reason for Fang Bai to suffer because of it.
Huang Zhong knew Fang Bai was very powerful. This had been evident ever since Fang Bai guided him on cultivation techniques and martial arts.
However, Huang Zhong was uncertain if Fang Bai could truly defeat Ye Renjie.
Given Ye Renjie's character, if Fang Bai were to win, there would be no problem. But if Fang Bai lost, he would certainly be humiliated ruthlessly. In Lingxu Palace from then on, Fang Bai might never be able to hold his head up high again.
Therefore, Huang Zhong decided that even if he had to sustain grave injuries, he would do all he could to exhaust Ye Renjie's spiritual energy, making it impossible for Ye Renjie to face Fang Bai in battle.
"Huang Zhong, stand back!"
Fang Bai's voice reverberated like a spring thunder, issuing an imposing shout toward Huang Zhong.
