"Yes!"
Though the guard captain was extremely apprehensive, he still forced himself to step forward.
He slowly drew the sword at his waist and advanced on Jiang Fan and Jiang Ming, snarling fiercely despite his inner weakness.
"Kid, if you know what's good for you, surrender without a fight. Otherwise... when the time comes, even dying won't come so easily for you!"
Jiang Fan's Void Realm cultivation placed boundless pressure on him.

The longsword in the guard captain's hand immediately flew free and fell to the ground with a clatter.
At the same time—
Bang!
A palm force struck him. His body seemed to have been hit by a massive hammer as he flew backward and crashed heavily
