Suddenly, Wu Long's eyes caught the face of a figure standing outside the entrance courtyard of the restaurant, peeking in.
He perceived him with Spiritual Sense before, but largely dismissed his presence.
But what he saw did make him pause.
He didn't recognize the man, but could instantly see the glee and malice in his eyes.
That kind of malice was not something that someone has for complete strangers, so he knew he had to know him from somewhere, and as he searched through his memory, it finally, although vaguely, clicked in his head.
Wu Long's figure disappeared, leaving Tiezhu Bo to kneel but for some reason not trying to get up, his right hand previously held up fell to the fine gravel below next to the other one as he continued looking to be in pain, unable to move freely.
This prompted the Iron Claw Group members to move forward, but the golden swords sprang forth, unleashing a golden flurry of precise strikes that forced them away again, restoring the standstill.
