69 Hougo, II

Sensing foreign Qi appearing behind him all of a sudden, Hougo moved his center of gravity forward as he turned-

Zhao didn't let Hougo move or turn around as he would have wanted. 

The Young Master had waited for the assassin's focus to shift to what was happening behind him, before speeding up and reaching for,

Rageful Tiger's Grip-

[Your Grip Strength increases by 40%!]

Reaching from the inside, he grabbed the assassin's hand and squeezed with all his strength!

Because of the shift in focus, the assassin was caught off guard, and his own grip over the Malevolent Dagger Of A Thousand Venoms failed to resist and keep the weapon in hand! 

Hougo barely has the time to process this, as he can already feel a blade with the potential to cut his head off!
