Yang An had already prepared for a fight to the death. On the surface, it seemed only Ninth Senior Brother Zi Luan was attacking him, but in reality, Eighth Senior Brother Jiang Hechuan and Seventh Senior Brother Shi Hu were also watching predatorily from the side.
If he could land a heavy blow on Zi Luan, it might set off a chain reaction—perhaps even provoke Eighth Senior Brother into attacking Zi Luan.
After all, while he was a threat to Zi Luan, Zi Luan was also a threat to Eighth Senior Brother!
But if he showed any sign of backing down, he would likely become the first target they eliminated.
To Yang An's surprise, however, with the arrival of Second Senior Brother and Senior Brother, Zi Luan, who had been charging at him, suddenly pulled back and even withdrew his true form.
Over on the other side, Eighth Senior Brother and Seventh Senior Brother also abruptly looked away, no longer paying him any mind.
'What's going on?'
