Whenever Yue Wen struck as he emerged from the Trace-Hiding Art, he always aimed for speed, precision, and ruthlessness, holding nothing back.
If he did not go all out while facing an enemy's back, when would he?
After the enemy turned around?
In an instant, the Raging Dragon Blood-Burning Technique, Flame-Pupil Qi-Illuminating Method, Xun Sword True Formula, and Giant Gate Sword Art!
Four arts united, unleashed at once!
Duan Muhe's perception in the woods was fairly keen, but Yue Wen had chosen his attack position too cleverly. It was right inside the range of Song Muyang's supernatural powers, and the Four Wood Team members had all focused their attention on the foot of the mountain, never expecting someone to have crept up beside them.
When he sensed sword qi suddenly shooting out behind him, he jolted in fright!
Where had that sword qi come from?
Was this some kind of joke?!
Even so, his response was remarkably fast and precise. Over a hundred green vines sprang up beneath his feet and wound around him in an instant, forming thick, resilient vine armor that no ordinary Appearance Realm strike could possibly cut through.
By the time his opponent delivered a second slash, his teammates would surely have noticed the commotion. Once they turned around, it would be four against one, and they would certainly surround and kill this ambusher.
But again, unfortunately for him, his enemy was Yue Wen.
Yue Wen always attacked his opponents' backs with lethal force powerful enough to crush them head-on. What did it matter if they mounted a textbook instantaneous defense?
Just as Duan Muhe's vine armor finished winding around him, before it had fully closed, Yue Wen's massive sword came crashing down!
Boom-shhk!
That mighty slash burst Duan Muhe's vine armor open from behind. Vines
