The sword penetrated underneath the puppet soldier's arm, its edge precise and its strength moderate, easily severing the puppet soldier's tendon.
The puppet soldier's arm immediately drooped powerlessly like a stringless puppet, and the knife in its hand fell to the ground.
Zhu Yu seized this opportunity, twisted her sword, aimed at the opponent's side, and stabbed forward.
Blood surged from the puppet soldier's chest, soaking large swathes of clothing.
The puppet soldier collapsed silently to the ground, breathless.
Just then, footsteps swiftly approached from behind her, causing Zhu Yu to be greatly startled. She hurriedly tried to turn around but heard a "whoosh" sound from behind, as if something was breaking through the air, followed by a dull thud.
When she turned around, she was surprised to see a tall and burly puppet soldier, holding a steel knife, with eyes wide open, collapsing rigidly.
