The one-armed old man, who was stabbed in the body, turned pale with shock. The pain was excruciating, as if he were being torn apart. He swung his ghostly hand towards the intruder, but in his haste, he missed, and was struck heavily in the chest.
The Ancient Sword swung, but the attacker dodged it. Taking this opportunity, the one-armed old man distanced himself from the attacker, turned around, and disappeared into the curtain of rain, leaving a vague silhouette.
The old man knew he was no match for the three of them, so he decisively chose to flee, using his familiarity with the local terrain to escape into the dense forest.
"Don't let him get away!" Yang Xiao was worried the man might report back, so he immediately wanted to give chase. He had already locked onto the opponent's aura with the Human Bone Staff, determined to eliminate him today.
