The swordsman felt that something was wrong as he looked around, while the others also scanned their surroundings.
Boom!
Suddenly, the ground shook as wooden pillars appeared from the ground and instantly formed a cage that trapped all of them.
"This…" the swordsman's eyes widened with sheer horror as he was assailed by the aura of at least five second-stage martial artists all at once. This caused his mind to be clouded, and his body started to shiver.
Without giving anyone a chance to react, four second-stage martial artists wearing green robes embroidered with the symbol of the verdant tree jumped at him simultaneously, attacking him from all directions.
A shiver ran down his face as despair etched his expression.
He wasn't Lu Zhen, a literal monster who could take on multiple opponents of the same realm simultaneously; he was just a barely-broken-through peak second-stage martial artist.
