He falls and sidles away to the corner of the room as he prays to Yangchen. Kuji drops the handle and begins to pray to the Avatar. The figure, who Kuji believes to be a spirit, only watches as the blade hits its shoulder, snaps, and bounces back to Kuji's face. Kuji, scared and trembling, raises his sword, but is only able to move slowly out of fear. Its throat has a thin line of blood, as if it had been beheaded and put back together. The figure, wearing a green silk dress, has a white mask for a face, and its eyes are monstrous streaks of red. Creaking of the floorboards is heard as heavy boots walk outside, disregarding stealth, and a very tall figure enters from the doorway, blocking all the light coming from the hall. They wrap around Po's neck from behind, choking him, and pull him out of the room straight through the wall, into the darkness.
Forgetting about stealth, Po asks Brother Gong what happened in worry.Īt that moment, a pair of gauntleted arms bursts through the brick wall opposite the door. Po realizes it is Throatcutter Gong, as he raises his hatchet to strike, Gong's wrists bent the wrong way and his ankles bound with his own garrote wire. Kuji screams, attacks, and misses his target, hitting his head with his pommel. As Kuji loses his balance while trying to hear anything, someone flies through the doorway and collides with Kuji. Him and Po give all their attention to the stairs, where they expect the enemy to come from. He does not think their floor will see any action, as he hears a crash on the upper floor. Kuji, believing their turf, Loongkau City Block, would take more lawmen than the Lower Ring possesses, is confident. The boss of the Triad of the Golden Wing got a tip that their stronghold is going to be hit that day, so every brother must take up positions until the threat is gone. Though looking calm, his throat keeps bobbing up and down as he swallows. Brother Po, holding his small axe, stays by the doorway. Kuji holds his rusty and chipped dao sword as he watches the door with his daofei brothers. Avatar Kyoshi tracks the Triad of the Golden Wing, a group of daofei outlaws, in the Lower Ring of Ba Sing Se.
