Peng Longteng, headless, could still move. This was something Li Huowang had never expected, and he was completely unprepared for it.
Moreover, he was now completely skinless. The pain nearly blurred his consciousness into oblivion, and his movements had become incredibly slow. He had no time to react and could only watch as the giant halberd smashed down toward his head.
Is this… am I about to die? The thought surfaced in Li Huowang's mind. He felt no fear, but rather a hint of relief.
At that critical moment, a figure leaped up with a furious shout, crashing into Peng Longteng's left shoulder and forcing her heavily-armored silhouette to stagger sideways. The giant halberd, like a massive door plank, sliced down, passing so close to Li Huowang's left that it nearly brushed against him. Li Huowang himself was surprised to have survived what seemed like certain death.
