The Snake King walked in a strange manner that was very different from that of usual masters. His feet seemed to stick to ground, never lifting from it. Yet he moved with no hindrance from friction, slipping and sliding about. He slipped past Meng Qi with ease and bolted for the door.
If the circumstances had been different and the two had clashed, Meng Qi still would not have been able to stop the Snake King's escape at this point in time. Someone on the level of Half-step Exterior Scenery, no matter how bad, was ultimately still on the level of Half-step Exterior Scenery!
However, there was still Jiang Hengchuan!
He had been a step behind Meng Qi, and was currently standing by the door.
