Shang charged toward the officer with quite a lot of speed as everyone looked at him in shock.
Was Zero suicidal?!
Why was he attacking a Late General Stage warrior?!
Sure, he was being accused of being a traitor, but at least he still had a chance of survival if he complied.
But by directly attacking the officer, he was throwing his last chance of survival out of the window!
The officer readied his spear, and he looked into Shang's eyes.
He knew that Shang wasn't weak, and he knew that he shouldn't be too relaxed in the fight.
That guy's sword had bisected a Mid General Stage beast. Sure, he had had some help, but that destructive power was no joke.
Of course, the officer also knew that Zero had traded off his agility, speed, and flexibility in exchange for this overwhelming offense.
In the officer's mind, Zero was simply too slow.
In comparison to Zero, the officer specialized in these three things.
