"Who!?" she exclaimed with a gloomy look.
The attacker was, of course, the cripple with the purple scythe held behind him, dancing and stirring up wind, moving quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly, with each strike aiming to kill.
"Who are you?" Blood Rose demanded, having observed Li Ming for a long time, only seeing him leave the city guard building today.
