The mannequin player hadn't expected the person he'd been fighting for so long to suddenly become so formidable, but he wasn't the only one with a hidden ace!
A heart-shaped prop rolled onto the ground.
Yet Xu Huo, standing beside him, didn't even twitch a brow. As the prop was flung away by an invisible force, a semi-transparent defensive barrier covered him—the range of the "Unassailable Territory" wasn't large to begin with, and a person lying down could never be fully protected, not that Xu Huo ever intended to shield him anyway.
The Black Blade that pierced his heart kept twisting, not relaxing for a second even after the prop exploded. The mannequin player's agonized groans were drowned out by the blast, but after the glare faded, he was still barely hanging onto life.
