A man in a blood-red robe beside him laughed. "No need to worry. With Xue Tu's strength, what could possibly go wrong? He's probably captured the enemy by now and is slowly torturing them."
"That must be it," a shadowy, blood-colored figure chuckled softly. "Xue Tu's methods are incredibly cruel. To be caught by him is a fate worse than death."
