Every movement came to an abrupt halt!
A deathly silence fell over the courtyard! Only the suppressed, pained groans of the two injured constables remained.
Constable captain Wang's entire body stiffened. He could clearly feel the faint pain and chill where the blade tip had pierced the skin of his throat!
His pupils contracted as he stared in disbelief at the young man before him, who had erupted with such terrifying combat prowess in an instant.
