Chapter 197: Fun to be attacked

As the Sword descended towards the former Emperor, poised to strike, an unexpected turn of events unfolded. 

Out of nowhere, a stone hurtled through the air, colliding with the blade of the Sword. This unexpected impact altered the trajectory of the weapon, causing it to veer off course and narrowly missing the Former Emperor's throat.

The General, having never witnessed it before, was now able to clearly observe the incident that had occurred. A stone had obstructed his assault.

This incident was not an isolated occurrence. There had been a prior incident where a stone had been hurled, striking the back of the Emperor's knee. As a result, he had stumbled and fallen to the ground just moments before.

He looked in the direction where the stone came from, only to see that place completely empty. There was no one there.
