It was the same for Xinghe. She didn't dare let her guard down. There was no room for negotiation when her life was on the line.
With another war cry, Xinghe bit down hard on the wolfhound's ear. Her mouth was immediately filled with the taste of blood.
The wolfhound howled in pain and Xinghe felt its grip loosen. It leaped nimbly back and stared viciously at her.
Xinghe immediately took the opportunity to stand up, hoping to impress her opponent with a bigger stature. However, she grimaced from pain that shot through her body and she slid back down to the floor.
The wolfhound saw this temporary moment of weakness and lunged at Xinghe, aiming for her neck.
At that moment, a gunshot sounded outside the door and the next second, sunlight filtered into the room through the open door!
This series of sudden events startled not only Xinghe but also briefly paused on the wolfhound's movement.
