A dozen or so demons fell to the ground, their bodies landing scattered with dull thuds.
Wei Bufan blinked. Only then did he realize that the head of the demon he had just pushed over had rolled an unknown distance away.
It wasn't a last-minute breakthrough, some sudden comprehension of a Realm that allowed him to turn the tables.
The demon had simply been killed by someone else.
"Who is that? He's a beast!"
He watched, stunned, as the newcomer charged into the horde of demons. His long saber moved like a torrential storm, carving out a large clearing amidst the monsters.
Wei Bufan stared, dumbfounded, and muttered to himself.
"Taiping Captain Su Mu, under Captain Lin."
Zhong Guizheng said in a low voice, panting for breath.
"Keep up!"
He pulled Wei Bufan up, and they charged forward behind Su Mu.
"Su Mu? Since when did Captain Lin have someone like that under him? How come I've never heard of him?"
