"About face," I instructed Si Nan, and turned to face the five underlings. They would be easier to deal with than their boss. I was sure of that.
"We're going to break through those five?" Si Nan asked rhetorically, but I knew him well enough to be sure that he had already thought of the same strategy as me. "Sounds like our best chance."
"Yeah."
We both did a complete 180 and immediately dashed toward the five approaching cultivators, using our Jin or Seven Stars Steps. The five Black Venom Cultists were almost caught by surprise when we burst into their sight, our swords lashing out to cleave through them. The first two couldn't react in time and went down immediately.
Si Nan had slit the throat of the one leading from the left, while I had decapitated the one leading from the right.
