Though the two were chatting leisurely, they remained alert to their surroundings. When the sound suddenly pierced their ears, they immediately knew something was amiss.
Hu Sandao was the first to grab his Bai Zhan Blade and fly out of the room.
A quick glance revealed that all the people had collapsed to the ground, apparently lifeless.
Looking around, he saw no sign of the murderer.
Behind him, the rumbling sound of footsteps approached. Knowing it was Zhen Xiaoxiao, Hu Sandao didn't pay it any mind and proceeded towards the middle-aged carpenter closest to him.
Unbeknownst to them, the moment they stepped out of the room, a dark shadow had already slipped in front of Ding Wugong's bed on the ground.
It rose from the ground, swelling up.
In an instant, the black shadow took on a human shape, its features hollow, revealing a human skin.
After the human skin emerged, it lunged ferociously at Ding Wugong.
