Gu Lan's words did not receive a response.
At that moment, the two black figures suddenly moved forward.
At first, Gu Lan didn't pay much attention. But as soon as he saw the faces of these two beings, he froze for a moment.
These creatures were not human at all. They resembled people, but they were monstrous in appearance, with fierce, tusked faces and emanated a terrifying bloodlust.
The two creatures moved with incredible speed and were soon right in front of Gu Lan and Shadow. Their sharp claws slashed downward, and blood flashed, sending both Gu Lan and Shadow staggering backward.
Regaining his balance, Gu Lan's expression darkened as he gripped the Hongmeng Sword and slashed out.
"Ching…"
The sharp sound of metal cutting through the air echoed as the two creatures were pushed back by the force of Gu Lan's strike.
Even though Gu Lan had poured all his strength into the blow, it didn't leave a mark on the creatures except for a shallow cut.
