A fierce glint flashed in Jiang Tian's eyes. It was only a matter of time before those two caught up to him.
Rather than let them chase him down like a homeless dog, he might as well stake his life on one desperate gamble.
Win, and he lived.

Who could have imagined this outcome?
A single exchange, and one palm strike had nearly killed him.
The first character of the Three-Character Sword Sutra, "Execution," required charging up and served as an area attack.
