Xiao Chen would have preferred not to make his appearance too early. As the Hundred Clans emerged, they appeared to harbor unfriendly intentions towards humans, and he intended to operate from the shadows. Yet he did not wish to watch Old Xu die; touched by his sincerity, he wanted to come to his rescue.
"Wait!" At this moment, Old Xu suddenly cried out, saying, "Stop! I have something to say."
The Holy Dragon King stopped at these words. His golden finger was already less than an inch away from Old Xu's forehead. But then the unexpected happened; a brilliant flash of blade light erupted from the person who had been supporting Old Xu, slashing towards the Holy Dragon King.
This was truly unexpected!
Even the mighty Holy Dragon King was unable to completely evade it. He had been watching the others in the tavern with his Divine Sense, and after being interrupted by Old Xu, did not think that Old Xu's friend would suddenly unleash such terrifying combat power.
