Peng Longteng, even without a head, somehow still moved—an impossibility Li Huowang had never anticipated and was utterly unprepared for.
Moreover, at this moment, his skin was completely gone, his consciousness was almost blurred by pain, and his movements became extremely sluggish. Even when he wanted to react, it was already too late, and he could only watch helplessly as the giant halberd smashed down toward his head.
"Am I... going to die?" This thought flashed through Li Huowang's mind, but rather than fear, his heart filled with a sense of relief.
Just at this critical juncture, a figure leapt up high with a roar, crashing onto Peng Longteng's left shoulder and slightly deflecting the massive figure clad in heavy armor.
The giant halberd slashed down close to Li Huowang's left side, like a door panel. Li Huowang himself was astonished that he had survived this deadly situation.
