The man snarled with anger as his Qi began to flare, quickly reacting to the ambush. John was surprised at the man's sharp instincts and quick reactions, who was no doubt a cultivator with great battle experience.
In an instant, the man identified the true threat, the dagger held by the Early World Expansion woman. He completely ignored John, whose Early Dao Transformation cultivation was nothing more than a joke to him. He noticed that John didn't even have a weapon in his hand, and would have started laughing loudly were it not for the serious situation he found himself in.
The man's right hand shot outwards towards the dagger, and slammed against the bottom of Zuri's hand, directing the dagger upwards away from his face. The move worked, as Zuri's dagger narrowly missed the man, shooting over his head.
