I wonder if that old man is dead? Looking at the big pit in the distance, the Fifth Prince and the others all wore expressions of grief, sharing a sense of sorrow.
"This is infuriating, absolutely infuriating," just then, two dry, skinny hands appeared, clawing at the edge of the pit to climb up. It was Nian An Yao's face, covered in dust and blood.
The fact that this old man could even manage to get up astonished Han Yan as she looked at Nian An Yao.
After all, she had exerted herself fully with that previous blow, and Nian An Yao hadn't reacted at all, simply taking her strike head-on.
In Han Yan's estimation, the old man should have been gravely injured if not dead; she hadn't expected him to climb up and even curse out loud, clearly showing that his injuries were much lighter than she had anticipated.
"That's the power of a Life-bound Sword Pet; because his life is bound to it, his defensive power and vitality are greatly enhanced," Ye Lanfeng explained.
