Chapter 404: Crawl
# 404. Crawl
"Buzz!"
The moment Xu Qi’an’s saber neared Qiu Qian’s neck, a translucent qi barrier rose up, blocking the strike three inches from his throat. The Black Gold Saber struck the barrier, causing ripples to spread across its surface as it rapidly dissipated the force.
Seeing his attack fail, Xu Qi’an didn’t hesitate—he immediately retreated.
"Senior Brother Yang, fire!" Xu Qi’an shouted.
Whoosh…
A cannonball tore through the air with a piercing howl, striking Qiu Qian dead-on before detonating in a thunderous explosion. Fire illuminated the surroundings, and thick smoke billowed into the night sky.
From a distance, the Left Guardian merely observed, seemingly unsurprised that neither the saber nor the cannon had managed to harm his young master. He made no move to intervene, merely offering his usual reminder:
"Young Master, do not drag this out. This man’s primordial spirit is unlike that of an ordinary martial artist—he is difficult to deal with."
