Liu Chen propelled himself forward with a kick, like a bullet shooting into the smoke and dust, at the moment when the blood-colored chains pierced through Aron.
The blood-colored chains recoiled back like a dragon wagging its tail, but seemed unable to catch up with Liu Chen.
In the critical moment, a loud shout erupted from the smoke, "Explode!"
The blood-colored chains burst upon command, shattering into countless blood-colored daggers that covered the sky, swooping down on Liu Chen as he fled.
Without turning his head, Liu Chen guessed the change of events and stomped powerfully. With a thunderous noise, the battered marble floor finally gave in and shattered into numerous pieces, forming an impromptu protective shield around him.
After a series of clinks and clanks, all the blood-colored daggers fell to the ground, failing to make their mark.
Just then, a flash of knife light ignited, and a door-sized giant knife slashed out from within the smoke.
