Even Liu Chen himself hadn't anticipated that his slash would be so powerful; the man knelt on one knee, fresh blood spurting from his mouth as he toppled over like a small mountain.
The light surrounding them suddenly retreated, and Zhang Shuntian sheathed his sword, glancing at Liu Chen to ensure the danger had passed before slowly approaching.
"Dead?" Zhang Shuntian kicked the man a few times, but there was no response.
Li Wenshan and others, who had been hiding elsewhere, also walked over slowly. Yang Qing examined the man carefully and called out, "He's not dead, look, he's still breathing!"
The man indeed wasn't dead, merely unconscious from being overpowered by the strong cultivation force.
It was only upon closer inspection that Liu Chen realized that the man was dressed entirely in black, simply and efficiently, without any weapons in hand, yet he was able to unleash such powerful attacks, akin to a sharp sword.
