The other Muscle Men, however, drew their long sabers. As they marched on, their eyes remained fixed on Li Mingli. Two of them held their blades to Xue Shentian's neck, ready to execute the Prince if their other captive made a single false move.
Li Mingli was in a real bind. Just as he was debating whether to fight his way out or bide his time, a stone flew out of nowhere and struck him square in the face. He cried out as he tumbled backward off the large rock.
It was Yue Gang who had thrown the stone!
He had only meant to test the waters and hadn't expected the stone to hit its mark so perfectly.
Lu Aqi was also surprised, but since they had already made their move, there was no reason to hold back. He bellowed, "Brothers, what are you waiting for? This guy's all talk! Get him!"
"Right!"
The Muscle Men immediately rushed forward and viciously swarmed Li Mingli.
