Luohou's pupils suddenly contracted.
Only then did Qin Wangchuan lightly flick the longsword in his hand.
The blood on the blade flew free, scattering a crimson arc through the air.
Clang.
The longsword returned to its sheath.
From beginning to end, he never once looked back.
Luohou stared blankly at the scene.
Only one final thought remained in his mind.

It had been so close.
Cold sweat beaded across Luohou's forehead as he gasped
