He felt a sharp pain erupting from his back!
Two damages appeared one after the other above his head.
He turned his head, only to catch a fleeting shadow, making him wonder if it was just an illusion.
But the wound on his back was bleeding profusely, proving it was all real.
Zong Shen stood calmly in place, facing the Tree-man's interception.
He seemed not at all worried that Sangui Yingshu could escape.
"Damn...damn it..."
Sangui Yingshu was in too much pain to speak.
His limited vocabulary left him only knowing how to say damn and curse.
A figure in black tight clothing slowly emerged; it was Tiezhu, who had entered the woods ahead during the ascent!
He was the surprise force Zong Shen had arranged.
"Idiot! You think you're the only one with an assassin?"
Zong Shen raised his shield to deflect the Tree-man's swing and drew his sword to cut down its branch.
Not far away, Tiezhu fiercely stabbed forward with his dual daggers again.
"Black Shadow!"
