Everything happened too fast for everyone to react. The first one to grab the key was Baldy, and the moment he made a stupid declaration, his head was cut. No one expected that a God Rank would be cut like that whether it was a surprise attack or not. The notorious bandit should be able to fend off the attack. The worst would be a major wound from the attack.
The fact that the former bandit leader was helpless was alarming for everyone inside and outside the cell. That was not something new for Lady Akhor and her attendants, but witnessing it firsthand was still shocking.
Zelie Linden Akhor put herself in the bandit's position, could she stop her head getting severed? She did not have the confidence because she could not see Tang Shaoyang's movement, at all. How was she supposed to block the sword when she could not see it coming?
