Whoosh!
Just as Xia Ping was about to finish off the Metal Tiger, a terrifying gust of force suddenly struck toward the back of his head as he moved forward.
The attack was exceedingly vicious, aimed at Xia Ping's blind spot, and its speed had broken the sound barrier. It was meant to assassinate Xia Ping in an instant and end his life.
Everyone saw that it was the Demon Vine Tree making the move. It had silently appeared behind Xia Ping, and a vine lashed through the air from afar like a flying sword, streaking across the sky with astonishing force.
