The blue-haired man muttered to himself, already manipulating the samurai sword gliding like a fish across the ceiling, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
Though Xu Fei didn’t know what the man was thinking, seeing his stance, he could roughly guess his attack strategy.
“Looking for my weakness, eh? Hmph! I’ll give you one to see!”
With that, Xu Fei shifted into a bold, open posture and charged toward the blue-haired man.
“Perfect chance! This fool’s getting impatient, leaving his back undefended, exposing so many flaws! Strike!”
The blue-haired man’s hand seals shifted rapidly, and the long blade hidden on the ceiling reappeared like a spectre, slashing toward Xu Fei’s back.
“Clang!”
The blade struck Xu Fei’s body with force, yet a sharp metallic sound rang out, the sword failing to pierce through!
“This… is this guy even human? Is this a trick?”
Seeing this, the blue-haired man couldn’t accept the reality before him.
His blade, Liuying, was forged by a renowned swordsmith from R country, famed for its unmatched sharpness!
How could it fail to pierce a mere mortal now? Wasn’t Xu Fei just flesh and blood?
At that moment, a faint smile curled Xu Fei’s lips, he knew the man had fallen for it.
He swiftly turned, extending two fingers and smashing them toward the blade.
“Mountain-Breaking Finger! Shatter!”
With a roar, the long-hidden Mountain-Breaking Finger technique was unleashed, its effect as devastating as ever!
The blue-haired man watched in horror as his beloved sword was snapped in two right before his eyes, shattered by nothing but two fingers!
“You… what kind of monster are you?”
The blue-haired man was stunned, and in his dumbfounded state, Xu Fei finished him off.
Xu Fei kicked the broken blade half in mid-air, redirecting its path to pierce straight through the blue-haired man’s chest.
“This… this can’t be…”
Unable to accept the truth even in death, the blue-haired man collapsed, filled with regret.
After finishing, Xu Fei shouted behind him.
“Come out, it’s safe now!”
Ma Sanlaizi, hiding in the corner, scrambled out, still shaken.
He’d been terrified, especially when that descending blade seemed about to strike Xu Fei, his heart had leapt to his throat.
“Mr. Xu, are you alright?”
Noticing Ma Sanlaizi staring at his back, Xu Fei chuckled lightly.
“Nothing to worry about, he’s been dealt with, relax!”
Ignoring him, Xu Fei picked up the other half of the broken blade from the ground, noticing two characters engraved on the hilt.
“Liuying? Odd, this is Tianjin’s turf, why would an R country ronin be here? That mysterious Lord Evil King is involved again, this time I’ll unmask you for sure!”
The recurring mysterious incidents all tied back to this Lord Evil King, steeling Xu Fei’s resolve.
“Let’s go, we’ll keep moving forward, who knows what’s waiting inside!”
Xu Fei’s seemingly casual words, however, made Ma Sanlaizi’s heart waver with retreat once more.
