"Prepare yourselves," Shen Ji called out softly to their hidden subordinates. "Stay hidden until I give the signal."
The men nodded, gripping their weapons tightly, their eyes fixed on the sky.
Moments later, a faint hum filled the air, growing steadily louder. Two figures, flying on their respective swords, approached the location, unaware of the danger lying in wait.
The tension in the forest rose to a peak as the moment of confrontation drew near.
'Two? Does he have an accomplice?' Shen Ji suddenly had a doubt. He and Kou Lau exchanged a final glance, a silent agreement passing between them.
This was their chance to strike against their enemy and turn the tide in favor of Kalingoot. As the two mysterious figures drew closer, Shen Ji raised his hand, ready to give the signal that would launch their carefully planned ambush.
But before Shen Ji could give the signal, the tables turned dramatically.
We must be willing to get rid of the life we’ve planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us. The old skin has to be shed before the new one can come.
