Feng Zhiwei instantly jumped forward.

Ning Ji's hand flashed forward, the dagger in his hand thing as he pushed past Shao Ning to parry the Crown Prince's sword, but the dagger was too small to completely resist the strike. With great flexibility, Ning Ji took Shao Ning in one hand and whirled away from the sword, throwing himself towards the corridor entrance while his other hand reached into his robes.

As he moved, the masked and black-robed man by the window lifted his hand, sending forward a powerful blast of wind to slow Ning Ji's movements.

As Ning Ji slowed, Shao Ning lost her balance and slammed into the hallway. The old and rickety building's rail immediately broke, and Shao Ning let out a scream as she fell. Feng Zhiwei rushed over, and when the mysterious robed man saw her, he swiftly pulled back his raised hand.
