More importantly, Meng Chao had never intended to flee with his tail between his legs.
He knew very well that if he did not give "Lü Siya" a hard blow, she would not let him swagger away so easily.
Only by fighting could he escape!
"Then... as you wish!"
Deep within the mudslide, Meng Chao's eyes shone brightly, like the blazing engine nozzles of a rocket about to launch.
His Life Magnetic Field instantly expanded to its limit, scanning the pitch-black surroundings—including every turbulent current, every stone, and every broken log in the mudslide—with crystal clarity.
The Bone Blade flew from his hand and lashed toward a broken log buried deep in the silt not far away, like a freely extending chain.

Very soon, he pulled the two-meter-long broken log from the mud and reeled it to his side.
Then, Meng Chao made a move no one could have anticipated.
He swung a backhanded punch and smashed it viciously into his own chest.
