The man known as 'boss' noticed that the people he sent out hadn't returned even after a long while and grew suspicious. He stood up, holding his sword, and began to move forward slowly, shouting loudly to the people around him, "Everyone, stay alert."
"Understood, boss." Everyone picked up on the unusual situation. Whereas there had been more than fifty people before, now only a sparse few remained, more than a third missing.
Dugu Chen saw that the 'boss' was slowly approaching and glanced at the people in front of him. He knew it was impossible to kill them silently now, so he burst forth, thrusting his sword toward the 'boss'.
The 'boss' reacted quickly, and the two exchanged blows mid-air. Those on the ground could only feel the air moving but couldn't see them clearly. They didn't realize that the two had already exchanged over a hundred moves.
