The man in the darkness had been waiting for the perfect moment to launch a sneak attack. Now, he had his chance. Just as Yang Qi was about to finish off Chuyun Baijing, he made his move. A black shuriken shot toward Yang Qi's throat, intending to kill him in one fell swoop.
However, he had still underestimated Yang Qi. Despite the suddenness of the attack, Yang Qi reacted in time.
"Alchemy Shield!"
His left hand glowed with a golden light, and a shield materialized, blocking the sneak attack.
This attack is strong. The Stone Armor Technique probably couldn't have withstood it. That's why Yang Qi had reacted this way.
CRACK!
The Alchemy Shield shattered, but the shuriken lost its momentum and clattered to the floor.
"A true master!" Yang Qi looked toward the corner. The man had not only hidden himself well but had also suppressed his breathing almost completely, which was why Yang Qi hadn't noticed him upon entering.
