Sword energy exploded from beneath the markings, and within moments, the entire hall was nearly cleaved in two!
I gasped for breath, my cold gaze fixed on where the trio had been standing.
What happened next left me stunned!
Hawk Thompson had actually fled!
The two men in black and gold robes lay sprawled on the ground, struggling to breathe, while Hawk Thompson was nowhere to be seen!
"He actually ran?" My expression turned icy, then I couldn't stop myself from laughing bitterly.
"Capital City Martial Arts Association members truly share the same character - they all love ditching their allies to save themselves."
I walked straight toward the two fallen men.
They opened their mouths as though pleading for mercy, but I didn't give them the chance. With one swift sword strike, I cut both men clean in half.
I knew perfectly well this wasn't a place to stick around.
Hawk Thompson had gotten away, and he'd definitely bring backup.
