Romance of Dragons and Snakes Chapter 42

Wang Chao couldn’t help but to lift his head back up into the sky to look at the endless canvas.

Right now this snowfall had added much more to the artistic night.

As Wang Chao took a few steps, his ears prickled as he suddenly heard a rustling sound. In a moment, it grew louder.

Turning his head around, Wang Chao could see around twenty men under the streetlights.

These men were carrying weapons, and from time to time the weapons would shine in the light. From this, Wang Chao could clearly make out the weapons were unexpectedly axes!

The alley had been blocked!

“Who are these people?” Wang Chao thought in surprise before the men from behind suddenly charged at him.
