However—
The very instant the man in the blood robe moved, the situation changed in a flash.
From the distant horizon, a crimson streak of light tore through the sky. It ripped through the air, creating a piercing sonic boom. A pressure, far more terrifying and vast, arrived before the light itself, locking onto the man in the blood robe like a set of invisible Shackles.
This sudden attack made the expressions of everyone present—except for Chen Sheng—change drastically, including the man in the blood robe.
"What?!"
The pupils of the man in the blood robe constricted violently. Alarm bells screamed in his mind as a fatal sense of crisis instantly enveloped him.
He no longer cared about attacking Chen Sheng. With a ferocious roar, he pushed his body's crimson Gang Qi to its absolute limit, forming layer upon layer of bloody light shields in front of him in an attempt to block the surprise attack.
But all of this was futile before the crimson streak of light.
SHHHHK—!
