Tian Zheng held the heart in his hands like it was a piece of fruit. He brought it up to his face and started muttering a spell that revealed a series of runic symbols inscribed on its surface with some kind of a chalky substance.
This would be the best time to strike because he was so busy with the spell that he wasn't even paying attention to the surroundings but because of Xue Meng that was not possible.
Hao Xuan became vigilant.
[Look at him, he is completely open. He wouldn't even stand a chance. This wastrel has never even fought in real combat] the voice in his head commented.
'Damn it, I could kill this fool so easily,' Hao Xuan unwittingly agreed.
[It would be so easy]
'So easy.'
[If only the saber wasn't here]
'If only.'
[Or maybe...it is a gift for us. Maybe this too is a part of his plan]
'Huh? What plan?'
And just when Hao Xuan was about to wake up to it something happened outside that grabbed his attention.
"Ha! Ho! Ha! Ho! Ha! Ho! Ha! Ho!"
