It was like a never-ending walk. The further she went onto the path, the darker it got. Just while she was walking, she heard a loud rattling sound coming from her back followed by a sharp hissing sound that pierced through the silent air.
Stunned for a moment, she stood rooted to her spot. She knew what it was. Seizing her dagger which was still hidden in her dress, she turned to attack the creature when suddenly someone pushed her away.
It was Rong Yixuan. He quickly took out his dagger and slashed the large snake as it reared up to attack her. Making another two to three slashes, he quickly killed the snake. After making sure that it had died, he took a sigh of relief.
"Nice moves you got there," she commented with an amused look. His killing moves told her many things about this man. One thing was for sure that this guy was not simple.
