Chapter 954

In comparison.

Lu En favored the latter.

Redhair truly wanted to dodge.

Lu En felt it.

At the moment he struck,

Redhair had intended to counter.

But at the final critical moment,

Redhair's movement abruptly halted, as if some immense change had occurred, causing his body to instantly stiffen and become incapable of any response.

Leading to…

Redhair's body became like a puppet,

Stiffened in place.

Motionless.

It wasn't that he didn't want to move—he simply couldn't.

"In that instant…"

"Redhair's muscles became utterly rigid."

"So."

"He didn't want to dodge—it was impossible for him to evade my slash."

"Because…"

"Did all of Redhair's injuries, just then at that critical moment, erupt simultaneously? Leading to Redhair's muscles becoming utterly rigid, unable to evade my slash?"

Lu En's eyes narrowed slightly, his thoughts racing wildly.

Quickly,

He connected it to Redhair's general physical condition.

Though it was only a guess…

But he believed,

This guess was likely nine out of ten correct.

Only this could explain,

Why Redhair, who had just moments ago worn an expression of utter disdain, chose not to dodge or evade my slash, instead taking it directly with his body.

"Redhair…"

"Now, you've finally gotten what you wanted!"

"I've fulfilled your wish!"

"Didn't you want your arm severed?"

"How does it feel now?"

Lu En's eyes burned with excitement as he gazed at Redhair, so close at hand.

The next second,

Thud!

With a dull, muffled sound,

Then one could see,

A bloody arm fell to the ground,

Finally,

The severed arm slammed onto the earth.

Upon closer inspection,

One saw,

The position of Redhair's left arm had become completely empty.

The arm had been cleanly severed from the body,

The cut surface smooth as a mirror.

The atmosphere was eerie!

Silent!

Not a sound.

Visible to the naked eye,

Redhair's left arm had become hollow…

On the ground,

A grotesque, terrifying severed arm lay still.

Clearly exposed to all eyes around.

Blood slowly trickled from the severed limb.

Soaked into the ground,

Merged into the earth.

Adding a strange crimson hue to the soil.

A gentle sea breeze drifted in.

A faint scent of blood drifted through the air.

Tick!

Tick!

Drops of blood, each the size of a soybean, fell from the red-haired man's left shoulder and sank into the ground.

In the blink of an eye,

the blood streaming from the red-haired man's left shoulder had completely soaked and stained his clothing, creating a vivid, eerie red patch that was horrifying to behold.

At this moment,

every single pair of eyes in the crowd simultaneously turned and locked onto the red-haired man.

And…

at the severed arm lying lifeless on the ground.

Mangled flesh and bone,

chilling and terrifying.

This was…

from the red-haired man's left arm!

Yes!

The red-haired man's left arm had been severed by Lu En's blade.

Using the red-haired man's own sword, Griffen, Lu En cut off his left arm in one swift stroke.

The red-haired man could never have imagined in his wildest dreams,

that one day,

he would have his own arm severed by his very own sword.

Silence!

Not a sound!

Only the gentle breeze brushing the ocean currents, crashing and washing against the coastal rocks, producing a crisp, melodious sound like musical notes.

Splash!

Waves churned,

ripples spreading outward.

Ben Beckman, lying near the harbor, stared wide-eyed with terror, frozen in shock as he watched the scene unfold before him.

He was stunned.

Every detail of what had just happened was etched clearly into his vision, leaving him utterly incredulous.
