Boom!
The snake was knocked away by the man again. When it crashed into the nearby wall, the entire hall shook violently.
Han Sen did not dare fight the man any longer. When the man turned his attention back to him, though, he swung his dagger to kick up a black flame, then leapt out of the man's way in a fiery evasion.
But the man possessed unimaginable power, and no matter how hard Han Sen tried, he couldn't dodge.
The man's hand was like an omnipotent shadow that trailed those who sought to flee it, hovering above and ready to snatch or smash helpless victims.
Gritting his teeth, Han Sen used his red dagger in an attempt to knock the hand away. But this time, the man's hand suddenly opened to grab the red blade. And then, in a flash, it was broken in a swift clench.
But the man's hand did not stop there. It still came toward Han Sen, and the attack was not absorbed by the sacred-blood armor he wore. The wretched nails of Han Sen's foe were sharper than any blade.
If it wasn't for the Dragon-Blood Snake, the man in black would have twisted Han Sen's head off.
When the hand came for Han Sen, at the last second, the Dragon-Blood Snake leapt in front of its master to take the hit. Instantly, the creature was knocked away again, but still, the man did not relent. And it seemed no matter what Han Sen tried, shaking this ghastly person would be impossible.
Han Sen had no choice but to now pull out his Taia sword. He hadn't used it earlier, in fear of it being broken. That belief had not changed, but it was the best blade he currently had.
It was a desperate time, and Han Sen could not afford to be careful. He would do whatever it took to survive, so with Taia in hand, Han Sen swung it against the man's incoming hand.
Dong!
Han Sen and the sword were sent flying, but strangely, the man let out a yelp. He shouted aloud in pain, and Han Sen noticed a wound across his hand. And from the gash Han Sen had delivered, the man bled purple.
”Taia has what it takes to hurt him?” Han Sen was surprised and delighted. The man stopped moving and looked on the sword with great fear.
Han Sen was happy and renewed with hope following this development. With this revelation, he might have a chance to escape. And it was all thanks to Taia.
When Han Sen took this opportunity to flee, though, the man was still not keen to let him go. The man came after him, but kept a moderate distance between them. His desires to keep Han Sen there and to stay away from Han Sen's sword seemed conflicted.
Han Sen fell back to the tree, but the Red-Eye Rabbit had vanished.
”My tree... you die...” The man, seeing his tree stripped bare, looked furious.
No longer did he care about the sword Han Sen possessed, as a blazing bonfire of anger surrounded him in a frightful aura. The cavern seemed to tremble with his rage.
”Hey, it wasn't just me. The rabbit had some, too!” Han Sen kept on running, summoning his Dragon-Blood Snake to follow from behind.
