"Amon, are you alright?" An Guan brandished his glaive as he landed beside Amon.
"I still live," Amon answered while panting. The mental and physical strains of surviving the battle just now were too taxing.
"Hehe, An Guan, isn't it?" Huang Zhan chuckled. He climbed back onto the Qing Lion. "You used to be a tutor at the Royal Academy. Why follow that failure of my brother? It was due to his incompetency that Qishurg City was destroyed. How about coming to my side? I can promise you a better future."
"Forget it! I will never betray His Highness Huang San!" An Guan exclaimed.
"Are you going to throw a bone at everyone?" Amon asked. "That is pathetic even for you."
"Hehe. I already told you I can't let you live. There is no need to give me more motivation," Huang Zhan uttered. While talking, twigs, vines, and leaves grew all over his body. They continued to spread to the Qing Lion under him.
