The first time Shen Kai learned to appreciate the frequent backstabbing from his peers in the sect was when he had survived his first-ever ambush, solely relying on an instinct honed through suffering surprise attacks.
Today was no different. Because of that extensive past experience, he had been careful enough to lock his senses on the trio who had hid behind him and launched the attacks. Otherwise, it would have been quite difficult to evade all the spells in time.
The confused cultivators saw their spells hitting nothing but thin air, completely missing the target. The moment the effects of the spells wore off, a dark shadow popped out from behind one of the four cultivators near his original position.
Before the cultivator could react, Shen Kai's hand hit the back of his head with the hilt of a dagger. The force behind the hit knocked him out instantly, making his body go limp in Shen Kai's arms.
