Sometimes timing was more important than speed. Gu Shenwei and Chu Nanping exhibited this idea perfectly after seizing the moment and cooperating perfectly.
There were actually some experts next to King Shengri, but the two who had reacted the fastest were blocked by Chu Nanping's dual swords. And the others had only managed to bend their bows and draw their sabers by the time Gu Shenwei had gotten into position. No one dared to make a move at that point, for fear of injuring the king by mistake.
Although King Shengri was subdued, he appeared calmer than his subordinates. He would not believe that the Dragon King would really dare to use his saber on him, so he raised his hand to stop the senseless shouts of the crowd. "Ever since my tenth birthday, this has been the first time someone has hugged me from behind. Dragon King, do I look like a woman to you? I'm afraid that I'm a bit too old and not as fresh and tender as the kid you're fostering."
