The shadowy figure pursued, intent on killing. The moment gravity vanished from the debris pile, it swung its blade like lightning through the barrier of dirt.
WHOOSH—
As gravity faded, the entire pile of dirt, pressured by the fierce aura of its strike, scattered in all directions before the blade even made contact. This left Chen Gu's back fully exposed to the figure's blade.
Chen Gu shot out his last table knife with a backward flick of his hand and, as he too lost gravity, began to float upwards.
The shadowy figure anticipated Chen Gu's table knife. With a slight contraction of its body, it dodged the strike. Its tactical sidearm remained aimed straight at Chen Gu.
Just as it was about to cleave the weightlessly floating Chen Gu in two, its body suddenly jerked violently. Then, it deflated like a punctured ball.
Her neck had been pierced by a table knife. From the wound alone, it was impossible to tell if it had entered from the front or the back!
