Gu Shuo, Zhan Chi, and Qian Fanji surrounded the two men in black, and in an instant, a fierce battle erupted.
Qin Huai stared in that direction. He took a few tentative steps, and seeing that the three men were too preoccupied to spare him any attention, he turned tail and bolted for the cave entrance.
SMACK!
"AARGH!"
Qin Huai was still about ten feet from the cave entrance when a red shadow flashed before his eyes, and his entire body was sent flying.
He slammed onto the ground, a sharp pain shooting through his tailbone. His jaw swelled up instantly, and the metallic taste of blood filled his mouth. He spat, and a mouthful of fresh blood mixed with several teeth splattered onto the floor.
The man in red stood with his hands tucked into his sleeves, staring coldly at him.
"Who… who are you?" Qin Huai stammered, his words slurred.
