Blood kept gushing out.
The speed of blood loss was too fast, frighteningly fast, fatally fast.
Yang Yi had already identified the weapon used by his opponent—a rare and very deadly weapon.
In the hands of a small-time thug, it was equally deadly, but it was not an easy weapon for an amateur to wield effectively.
It was a stab, and moreover, a hollow stab.
When a sharp object penetrates the human body, especially when it goes deep into the torso, such cylindrical spikes are compressed by the muscles and also, due to the pressure difference inside and outside the body, they are difficult to pull out.
If someone tried to pull it out forcibly, the slight resistance from the body's muscles and pressure difference won't prevent the spike from being withdrawn, but it will slow down the speed of extraction.
For an expert, especially one proficient in assassination, it is unacceptable for a weapon to stay inside the target's body even for a second longer.
