Chapter 112: From Stalemate To Surrounded
Due to the visual interference of the thick fog in this area, weapons like throwing knives and arrows were ten times deadlier. And Feng Jun was a cultivator at the sixth layer of a Mystic Art, with little to no cultivation of the martial path, as revealed by the leaderboard.
Han Xuhan had seen his cultivation data clearly. This was why he was so confident in ambushing Feng Jun with such a simple strategy.
No matter how fast Feng Jun’s reaction speed was, he hadn’t imagined that his targets, who hadn’t even noticed his hidden approach through the fog till now, would be so prepared for him to make a big move.
Because Han Xuhan was surrounded by law fragments, Feng Jun had received a mental instruction from prime vessel Qian Yun to use an ambush method that didn’t rely on any Mystic Art.
The moment he revealed himself with his poised shortsword, just about twenty meters behind his target, the target had turned around, holding a knife that was supposed to have been thrown at Qian Yun.
Feng Jun hadn’t had the time to dodge or hide. Han Xuhan’s movements didn’t have an iota of hesitation, certain that his feint would produce the result he wanted to see. The knife had cut through the fog, its trajectory aimed at his torso.
As its silver shadow got bigger and bigger in Feng Jun’s frozen pupils, he felt an incredible force exploding inside his consciousness. His conscious thoughts and fear of death were suppressed by a willpower far beyond his own.
With a yelp that he didn’t make, his upper body somehow bent to a side, his spine cracking and muscles protesting painfully. Feng Jun had no idea how he managed to retain his balance and not scream out from the pain while the knife passed inches above his shoulder.
"...Oops, missed that cockroach by just an inch or so. His reflexes are good! Damn!" Han Xuhan said without a hint of disappointment.
