The void buzzed as if the heavens and the earth were being cleaved apart. Two blood-dripped iron swords sliced through the nothingness, emerging abruptly with murderous intent shooting straight toward Gu Chen's head.
At that moment, Gu Chen's movement to reach for the soul crystal suspended in the void abruptly stiffened, a bone-chilling coldness setting in that even startled him momentarily.
"As expected, the master of the Blood-Clothed Tower and the leader of the Phantom Killers have made their appearance!"
Gu Chen's eyes flashed with cold light. His journey this time was intended to draw out the snakes from their holes. Therefore, although the attack came suddenly, Gu Chen had been on guard all along in his heart.
His!
The two iron swords crossed paths, attacking from different directions, colliding with each other, and producing a faint ringing sound.
Their intended lethal strike missed its mark, hitting only Gu Chen's afterimage.
