The Shadow Guard was intimidated by Ye Han, particularly after learning that he was referred to as the Executioner. Ye Han's immense power positioned him in the upper ranks, even within the Eternal Dynasty.
Consequently, he aimed to exploit the circumstances by launching a sudden attack on Ye Han whom he suspected to be behind him.
Unfortunately, it was only when he turned around that he realized that he was naive. There was no one behind him! His attack only hit empty air. It was clear that Xu Shan had lied to him.
His face was filled with anger. However, before he could even turn around, he felt a cold blade rush against his skin.
He immediately moved again, feeling as if he was standing at the death's door.
Xu Shan didn't target his back. Instead, he once again went straight for his neck, as if he didn't even want to give him a second chance. In fact, this time he had moved as soon as the Shadow Guard turned around to attack, taking advantage of the perfect opportunity.
