The silvery glint of a blade was all Xie Lian saw before the unmistakable cold bite of metal pressed against his throat. Not again, he thought, slowly turning towards the hilt and the pale hand holding it. As he moved, the blade shifted almost imperceptibly, easing its vice just a breath as if allowing him to turn without cutting through flesh.
