Chen Ku was also stunned. He had effortlessly turned his head, nocking and shooting a Predictive Arrow toward the side of the tree. Yet, at the very moment it was about to strike the opponent's forehead, the man incredibly dodged with an inconceivable Monkey Crouch Stance on the spot. He brought his legs and knees together, squatted down with bent knees, and amazingly avoided it as if by supernatural means.
The Monkey Crouch Stance was a Stance Skill with similar evolved versions found in the Fist Stances of various major sects in the Jianghu. To Chen Ku's surprise, Yan Longhao had used a sliver of 'Stealing Heavenly Secrets' in that moment of death, snatching back his life.
An expert! Chen Ku immediately judged that this man, Yan Longhao, was an expert of a caliber he had rarely encountered. His combat experience was so rich that even Chen Ku's sudden turn to nock an arrow and shoot had failed to catch him off guard.
