When he heard the sound behind him, akin to a life-taking talisman, Cheng Shuangming's hair stood on end. He leaped forward without even glancing, his whole body enveloped by internal force, shouting: "Sound Shakes a Hundred Miles!"
The moment he spoke, a piercing noise erupted from his body. Everyone present instinctively covered their ears, even Pei Yan, who was poised to strike, was forced to retreat a few steps. Despite the mask, it felt as though his eardrums were about to be deafened by the dreadful sound.
Without Pei Yan needing to prompt, the system automatically equipped him with earplugs, making him feel slightly better. Cheng Shuangming too realized Pei Yan was recovering from his attack, immediately whispering: "Nowhere is Safe!"
"Ah!" Pei Yan was enraged at the sudden attack, ready to take his opponent's life. Yet that piercing noise once again rang in his ears, leaving the earplugs provided by the system ineffective.
