As he spoke, the guard noticed the numerous bodies of his colleagues littering the corridor. All of them had been cleanly severed by a Sharp Blade. Combined with the Katana in Ya Lie's hands right before his eyes, the situation was self-evident.
Reacting with blinding speed, the guard moved to pull the trigger before Ya Lie could even answer. However, before his index finger could so much as twitch, Ya Lie's feet shifted. He blurred to the other side of the corridor like a phantom. The guard immediately swung his muzzle around and squeezed the trigger.
RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT!
Muzzle flash lit up the corridor as a barrage of bullets poured out. A terrifying scene unfolded before the guard's eyes. Ya Lie's figure blurred. His rapidly shifting steps left a long string of afterimages in his wake as he zigzagged across the floor and darted right up the wall. The bullets chased close behind him, but they couldn't catch up to his Speed at all.
