Three shadows separated from beneath him and converged afar, taking about two seconds to reenter the fray. Two seconds was neither long nor short. Tang San had actually noticed already that, to defeat himself in such a fight, one must utilize every advantage available, and this interval of shadow change was indeed very worthwhile. He had not taken advantage of it previously because it wasn't necessary at the time. This was also what he meant when he gave Gu Li advice earlier.
But now, it was different. Tang San's feet performed the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and the Lion Tiger Golden Gang burst forth explosively, spewing dazzling platinum flames behind him, propelling his body to appear almost instantaneously in front of the central shadow—speedier than the shadow's own movement.
