Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~
Three water arrows, each about a foot long, shot from Chikamura Dahui's hand in a triangular formation, aimed respectively at Qian's head, the center of his back, and the right side of his back.
They were so fast that an ordinary person's naked eye could never have kept up.

The only reason he had not acted immediately was that he still had a bit of finishing work to complete.
As for now...
