As he spoke, he was about to step forward regardless.
But just as he lifted his foot, an intense sense of danger suddenly surged in his heart before he could place it down.
This feeling startled him, causing him to retract the step he had already taken.
But perhaps he was a fraction too slow, as the front part of his shoe seemed to be severed cleanly by an extremely sharp blade, falling off neatly.
So much so that his toes were exposed.
At this, Ximen Hao's face instantly turned somewhat pale.
Because he had no doubt that if he had retracted his foot a moment later, it wouldn't have just been the shoe that was cut.
The key was that he had absolutely no premonition that the seated woman would make a move.
The attack seemed to appear out of nowhere, terrifying him to the core.
"I told you, this road is blocked, didn't you hear?" Yue Guannan said coldly.
Ximen Hao's expression could no longer be described as unpleasant.
