Basil Jaak's response was incredibly agile, realizing that the moment Bertha struck against Kitty More, her attention would inevitably shift to Kitty for an instant. It was precisely this chance he seized as he whisked past Bertha.
"Thud!"
Just as Basil completed his task perfectly and was preparing to head straight for the valley exit, an unusual sound erupted, and his heart violently quivered!
"Thud!"
Behind him, Kitty More spat two mouthfuls of fresh blood!
What had happened?
Kitty's cultivation level was clearly much higher than Bertha's; they had merely exchanged a simple palm strike, so how could she be injured to the point of bleeding?
Countless impossibilities raced through Basil's mind. Could it really be that Kitty More was no match for Bertha? Impossible!
Then, it dawned on him that just before they began fighting, Kitty had mentioned—even if she were in danger, he should not concern himself with her and focus solely on escaping.
