This sudden turn of events left the few guards in the dark dumbfounded, even catching the main characters Long Yan and Di Lingtian off guard. Just now, Long Yan had been fully focused on the Azure Dragon's Mysteries in his hand, never expecting someone to sneak up behind him. Despite his utmost caution, he still fell into a trap.
Long Yan felt a hand land on his shoulder, causing his body to involuntarily fall forward.
"You really made me put in quite an effort."
The person behind him seemed to have no sense of guilt for performing such an underhanded act. He pulled a pristine white handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the blood-soaked hand that had been stained red with Long Yan's blood.
The one who just stabbed Long Yan was Chen Long—the man Long Yan had previously severed an arm from earlier. Defeating Di Lingtian, only to stumble into an ambush like this in the gutter, was beyond expectation.
"What's the matter? Didn't think this would happen, did you?"
