However, at that moment, Yan Xiaobao's eyes turned scarlet; he knew he couldn't afford to give the opponent the slightest chance to act. If he did, he would likely be killed.
Clenching his teeth, he decided not to use the Wooden Sword to defend, but rather let the arrow tip get close and stab into his abdomen. Meanwhile, the arrow he had thrown wobbled forward and pierced the man's chest. As the man screamed, blood sprayed everywhere, and his eyes widened in surprise as the force of the strike pushed him back even faster.
At that moment, Yan Xiaobao's Wooden Sword struck the man down, as if it demanded to end his life. Through a swift slashing motion, it completely severed the man's head, which fell to the ground.
