In moments of crisis, people can always unleash immense potential, even cultivators are no exception. Ye Shikai knew what kind of monster was behind him, and he had to leave quickly. Suddenly, he felt a large hand tightly grip his ankle and drag him outwards.
"Damn."
Caught off guard, Ye Shikai was half pulled out of the ventilation duct. A little later, he would be dragged out completely and torn to shreds by the monster. In desperation, Ye Shikai drew his You Xi Sword and swung it forcefully behind him.
The sword rose and fell, easily slicing through the monster's arm. Ye Shikai kicked the monster away and quickly crawled back into the duct, desperately moving forward. After crawling five or six meters and realizing the monster couldn't get in, he breathed a sigh of relief. These monsters were truly terrifying; a moment's delay or failing to sever the creature's hand would have meant certain death.
