The Crimson Sword was more than an inch wide as it plunged into Tong Jian's neck, but it didn't sever his head because the very moment he was struck he tilted his head and deflected it slightly with a dagger!
Even at such a short distance, he managed to dodge it, which caused Xu Huo's brows to furrow. He threw out the kite string to pin it to the opponent's heart and swiftly kicked him away!
Tong Jian used his legs to block and was sent flying backward while attempting to pull the string from his chest, but the next second his expression changed, as the string was embedded in his heart and couldn't be pulled out!
"Kite string," Xu Huo pulled the string up to his chest and smiled, "Mao Wei's gadget, you are allies, so you should recognize it, I presume."
