The burly man suddenly sprang up, launching himself into the air with a flying scissor kick, intending to crush Hu Liena's head between his legs in a single blow!
This burly man was not all show. His scissor kick was terrifyingly powerful; it could probably crush even granite.
Unfortunately, he had chosen Hu Liena as his target.
Hu Liena leaned back while swiftly drawing her short sword and slashing at the man's neck, which was as thick as his head!
"Pfft!"
After the sound of the short sword cutting into flesh, Hu Liena felt resistance. It was clearly the man's hard cervical bone.
But Hu Liena was incredibly strong. She felt only the slightest resistance before the burly man's head was severed from his body.
After two dull thuds, the man's unfeeling corpse fell to the ground.
Hu Liena stood at the doorway and looked into the room.
There was nothing else inside, only the human remains the burly man had left uneaten and a foul stench that assailed her nose.
It seemed he... really was dead.
Hu Liena had always believed that someone as powerful as him would make it through that path.
He had clearly been such a powerful man. Why had he been unable to make it through? Why had he died?
Hu Liena could not understand it.
She turned and walked back the way she had come, once again traversing the route she had walked so many times before.
It was clearly the same road, but compared with the surging excitement she had felt on the way here, she now seemed utterly alone.
After returning, Hu Liena entered the Hell Slaughter Arena again.
Her heart was filled with grief and resentment. If she did not vent them, they would fester within her, which was not good
