Xiahou Que kept pushing forward in the darkness, staggering like a madman. He fell to the ground from time to time, biting into the dirt, but he didn't care and continued running.
He didn't know how long he had been running before he fell to the ground again. By then, he was completely exhausted, gasping for breath and unable to stand.
Just then, he heard a contemptuous woman's voice from the side: "A coward is a coward. Even if you activate the Demon Pattern, it doesn't change your nature."
Xiahou Que had just been utterly defeated by Wang Yan, and the word "coward" struck a nerve.
Furious, Xiahou Que yelled, "Who is it? Come out here!"
He looked up in the direction of the voice as he spoke.
Yet, as soon as he lifted his head, a shadow flashed before him, and in a daze, he saw someone standing in front of him.
Then that person swung their hand, with a "slap" sound, hit Xiahou Que's face, echoing loudly in the distance.
