It seemed that the ghostly apparition attached to Qian Wang didn't want me getting close, just as I charged towards him, the grating sound of metal scraping against the floor behind me reached my ears once more, yet this time, the sound was more hurried than before.
Closer, even closer. By now, I had made up my mind to use that method, no matter if it might cause Qian Wang some harm, I had to act, any later and I was afraid not only would Qian Wang's life be in danger, but my own would be at risk as well.
Just one step away from Qian Wang, I was fully prepared. But just then, Qian Wang, who had been cackling non-stop, suddenly lifted his foot and kicked towards my stomach. As I was rushing too fast, there was no time to dodge, so all I could do was helplessly throw myself onto his approaching foot.
Thud... Bang...
Two sounds rang out simultaneously, the first was Qian Wang's foot kicking into my stomach, the second was the bed that came crashing into my back right afterward.
