Chen Ming's right shoulder was injured, a self-inflicted wound, piercing right through.
He originally thought this would serve as an excuse not to make a move. After all, he had only exchanged a few moves with Liang Qi, at most he could only mimic those seen moves, and any real action would expose him instantly.
Unexpectedly, Liang Qi's master, Zhou You, was so ruthless as to send him ahead to explore. He likely noticed Chen Ming's injury was not as severe as it appeared.
This suggests there really isn't much bond between master and disciple within the Demonic Sect.
He was half a step behind his junior brother Qian Jiu, holding the hilt of the "Breaking Army Sword" tightly, surveying the surroundings warily.
What a strange place.
The ground, the sky, the surrounding trees, and the manor ahead, all felt extremely bizarre, as if the whole world lacked color, only shadows and ink lines.
It was like this world existed within a black-and-white landscape painting.
