The shieldbearer's eyes nearly popped from their sockets as he threw himself recklessly forward, intent on blocking the blow for the Director. But his speed was far too slow compared to the double-headed sword.
At that critical moment, the memory of Griffin Wester within Chen Gu helped him stay calm and collected. With a light twist, he activated 'Heaven-Defying Dragon Fire,' unleashing a series of cannon shots. After several rapid shots, one finally tracked the double-headed sword's trajectory and struck it squarely.
Blown off course and spinning at high velocity, the double-headed sword snapped, severing the Director's thigh. The Director shuddered in pain but wasn't directly hit, saving his life.
The shieldbearer let out a sigh of relief and sincerely said to Chen Gu, "Thank you!"
Chen Gu had no time to respond. The thwarted retaliation had enraged the ghost woman Mutant, who, bellowing furiously, charged towards Chen Gu.
