The bloody figure broke out from the abdomen of the iron-claw tiger and flashed towards the head of Xuanyuan Wuji out of everyone's expectation. Even those knights beside Xuanyuan Wuji couldn't make any response to it.
Given the speed of the bloody figure, it must be a knight. Additionally, he appeared so abruptly. Therefore, when the others discovered him, his spike had almost reached Xuanyuan Wuji.
It was a long-awaited, unimagined fatal strike.
The bloody figure's spike failed to hit Xuanyuan Wuji. In a split second, a flowing red semi-transparent light shield covered Xuanyuan Wuji like an overturned bell.
The bloody figure's black spike then slid over the light shield like the sickle of the deity of death, causing not even a single sparkle. Closely after that, it fell onto the throat of another person who was nearest to Xuanyuan Wuji.
