But in the next moment, a flash of light flickered past. A blade, drawn from the scabbard on the table at some unknown instant, was now resting against the spot over his heart!
"So fast!!"
He Shujun's pupils contracted. He was horrified!
He hadn't seen when Cheng Zongyang drew the blade at all. All he saw was a fleeting glimmer of light, as if something had just flashed before his eyes.
'If I had taken just one more step forward, would this Divine Weapon have pierced my heart?'
Just then, he heard Cheng Zongyang's cold voice:
"Don't forget the contents of the agreement. If you make a move against me before our cooperation is complete, be careful you don't lose your life.
Oh, right. A little hint for you: you guessed correctly. That Beast Hide Scroll is cursed. A real curse. Before you try anything, you should think long and hard about whether you're willing to bet your life on it."
