The ghostly black shadow had already vanished without a trace, even leaving the broken blade in his body.
Jing Ci casually pulled out the broken blade from his chest, and the wound silently healed itself.
Such an injury was not fatal to him at all, but very few in this world could successfully launch a surprise attack on him—less than five of the known ones could. This mysterious man, following the Ghost Slayer Path, could approach him in the chaos of battle, successfully land a strike, and even manage to retreat unharmed.
Interesting.
Jing Ci turned to look in the direction of Shibuya. Without a doubt, this was a setup by The Order of the Hidden, with every step perfectly calculated, even someone specifically prepared to deal with him had appeared.
If only to create a single second's time.
One second was enough for the enemy to accomplish much.
For example, to make the song resound again.
His junior's battlefield was already decided; nothing could be done in time now.
