Blood begins to ooze from all the acupuncture points on his body. Apparently, that kick just now has left Run Sheng with internal injuries.
The Gatekeeper True Monarch watches Run Sheng while extending a hand backward, palm swaying.
After a moment, nothing happens.
The Gatekeeper True Monarch looks puzzled, turning back to look.
He sees on the altar where he stood before, a young boy is now standing. One of the two stone pedestals on the altar is covered with talisman paper, while the other is sealed by the boy with black dog blood runes.
Both stone pedestals slightly tremble under his summoning but fail to crack open.
Li Zhiyuan looks at the distant Gatekeeper True Monarch; he doesn't understand why the other doesn't retrieve his weapon immediately upon awakening but waits until after some combat to beckon.
Perhaps, only like this, can it match his status.
But since he's given me this opportunity, I certainly can't ignore it.
