The people nearby were stunned. They instinctively tried to distance themselves from the corpse of Mutton Chop Beards, but Xu Huo immediately warned, "Don't move!"
In general, humans are conditioned to respond reflexively to certain verbal cues. For instance, when someone yells "Don't move," many people instinctively pause their actions. This reflex can become a tool in life-or-death survival games, such as when someone shouts, "Hidden Weapon!"—true or not, one would instinctively become vigilant or dodge.
However, some players excel at resisting reflexive reactions. Possessing a heightened sense of judgment, they are unaffected by habits or common sense. So, when Xu Huo gave his warning, Big Belly's movements remained uninterrupted. Just as he stood to retreat, a line sliced across his waist, releasing a spray of blood. It wasn't until he was cleaved neatly in two that he realized what had happened!
