The Sub-Altar Master's face changed slightly.
He decisively gave up attacking Jiang Fan, shifted to the side while lunging, and executed a reverse flip kick towards Xu Yining's wrist with a golden hook.
Xu Yining, caught off guard, quickly withdrew her sword to prevent injury to her arm.
But this move played right into the Sub-Altar Master's hands!
He supported himself with one hand on the ground, bouncing up into a handstand, and then scissored his legs toward her neck.
The switch from defense to offense happened in the blink of an eye. Xu Yining, with her limited combat experience, couldn't possibly defend against it.
Seeing her neck about to be caught and twisted off,
suddenly.
The Sub-Altar Master let out a sharp cry of pain!
Jiang Fan had leaped even higher and struck at a more cunning angle, stabbing his sword into the Sub-Altar Master's armpit.
The intense pain forced the Sub-Altar Master to abandon Xu Yining and turn to defensive tactics.
"Boy, you seek death!"
