The poison dart was upon him in an instant.
"Child's play," the elder sneered. "Don't show off your meager skills before a master."
He didn't retreat. Instead, he advanced, tilting his head to dodge the poison dart by a hair's breadth. Then, his five fingers formed a claw, striking straight for Xu Ke's heart.
"Claw Skill?" Xu Ke's expression turned grave. This elder's True Qi is sharp and his aura is ferocious. He's a ruthless one.
But as the elder charged, Xu Ke didn't back down. Instead, he whipped out a small knife and hurled it at the old man.
The elder laughed in amusement. "Just how many Hidden Weapons do you have tucked away in those clothes?"
"None of your damn business," Xu Ke retorted. Planting his feet, he drew power from the ground and sent a fist flying toward the elder's stomach.
CLANG.
The elder snatched the flying knife right out of the air with his Claw Skill. He could tell this one wasn't poisoned.
