Chapter 350: Killing with a Borrowed Knife

Breathing rapidly, his body nearly reaching its limit, and without time to bandage his wound, Tong Han swallowed mouthfuls of water, forcing down the sweet metallic taste in his throat, and planned to leave a clue for Yang Xiao.

Tremblingly reaching into his bosom, he took out the Buddha Beads and placed them on the blue stone slab in front of the door. Then, extending his right hand, he winced in pain as he drew a circle of blood around the Buddha Beads. The circle was not completely closed, leaving about a quarter of a gap—this hint was enough for Yang Xiao.

After completing all this, Tong Han steadied his spirit, quickly recalled the experiences along the way, and confirmed that nothing was missed before moving forward. He then pulled out a round-headed wooden stick from the bamboo tube and rang the wooden chime hanging by the door.
