"Auntie..." Lin Qiye's body trembled slightly the instant he saw the caller ID.
The next moment, an incomparably fierce whip kick swept toward his face!
Lin Qiye crouched with lightning speed, dodging the blow. He then countered with a sweeping leg kick that slammed heavily into Scorpion One's ankle...
Scorpion One merely swayed slightly, as steady as a mountain.
"He's really tough!" Lin Qiye cursed inwardly. The Star Saber in his hand abruptly blocked the folding knife, but the terrifying force transmitted through the blade still sent him flying!
He barely steadied himself in the snow, but his phone was shaken from his grip and landed in the snow beside him.

Scorpion One blocked several of Lin Qiye's strikes in succession, then let out a low roar. Surging, powerful blood and vitality erupted from him, multiplying his strength severalfold and sending Lin Qiye flying again!
Lin Qiye nimbly adjusted his posture in midair, landed heavily on the ground, and drove one saber into the snow to steady himself.
