Her eyes widened in surprise. Such a weak defensive formation should have shattered like glass beneath her strength, yet it completely resisted her power. She wore a confused expression as she gazed at Xiang Yu who had just finished activating the final node of the enhanced barrier.
Their gazes locked once more, but this time, there was no fear in his eyes. Instead, he smiled back at her.
