The black-robed man didn't strike often, but every time he did, he managed to hit the wooden figure.
By this point in the battle, the trio's strategy was quite clear.
Two of them would keep the wooden figure in check, while the black-robed man's dagger waited for an opportunity to strike. His dagger was the final killing move.
The Master of Hardships and Wei Xingshan took a hit to forcibly lock the wooden figure's arms, creating an opportunity for the black-robed man to plunge his dagger into the wooden figure's chest with a single thrust.
There was a bang.
This blow, which should have pierced the heart, hit the wooden figure without the sound of flesh being pierced, instead producing a dull thud.
The black robe's expression faltered slightly.
What was going on?
"Ah!"
A cold breeze blew past, revealing the flesh beneath the wooden figure's clothing.
