Branded
The suddenness of the attack caught He Chen off guard.
Fortunately, He Chen dodged in time, narrowly avoiding a fatal blow.
The trajectory of the attack after he dodged shifted to where his left arm would have been after he dodged. The absence of his arm ironically became his saving grace.
If the dagger had landed, the lightning element would have paralyzed him instantly, rendering him helpless in the face of his nemesis. And it would be very likely that he would lose his life to this carelessness as well.
Glancing back at Sikong Jiu, He Chen's eyes were now void of emotions.
"S-St—" Sikong Jiu tried to beg again, but…
Thud!
