• Jiang Xiao spotted fleeing wildlings and a cemetery in a clearing, then transformed into a human and prepared to attack the Ape Ghoul pursuing him with a deep-red Flower Blade.

Jiang Xiao discovered that Flashy Blade combined with Desperate Blade could kill Ape Ghouls with ease, but his fight drew him into a chaotic battle at a Savage Clan cemetery. He met a powerful girl who mistook his crow form for a demon and challenged the approaching Ape Ghoul King, leaving Jiang Xiao perched on her spear as the confrontation began.
