Huang Cheng spat blood and flew backward, to the astonishment of the onlookers.
No one expected Yang Yao to suddenly kick Huang Cheng through the air, yet it seemed Huang Cheng had anticipated it; he had already turned to dodge before Yang Yao's foot struck…
Shen Yue discerned this subtlety.
But the angle of Yang Yao's kick was so precise that despite Huang Cheng being prepared, he still could not evade it.
As he crashed to the ground, Huang Cheng tried to rise and reach for his knife, only to be pinned down by Yang Yao's foot on his neck.
In pain, Huang Cheng ceased struggling and cried out in alarm, "Great Sage King, spare my life." Sensing Yang Yao wasn't pressing down hard enough to break his neck, Huang Cheng quickly said, "Great Sage King, it's me, Huang Cheng!"
His tone suggested he suspected Yang Yao, lost in the memories of the past, had mistaken him for an old foe.
