Chapter 342: A plot within a plot, a send-off: "Bonus update for five thousand monthly votes!"
The Shadow Leopard's keen spiritual instincts sensed danger. It had no choice but to abandon its killing blow, twist around, and swipe its claws at Xu Jingwu.
Bang!
Fist met claw, and a blast of air erupted.
Xu Jingwu shuddered violently and retreated dozens of steps.
