Jun met Marcelo‘s eyes fearlessly. “Are you Jared?”
“You wish!” Marcello shook his head.
“If so, I have no interest in dueling you. Get hold of Jared right now.”
His words nettled Marcelo greatly.
Is he belittling me as he thinks I'm not as good as Jared?
That was Marcelo's final straw.
“You foolish ronin should think twice before assuming Jared is the sole expert in the entire martial arts world. I'm well capable of defeating you single-handedly!”
With that, he drove his fist at Jun.
Jun slanted his body slightly and ducked the blow with ease. He bounded into the air and landed in the courtyard.
At the failed attack, Marcelo followed closely behind before leaping up to deliver a kick.
Jun blocked his attack, the force of it pushing him several steps backward.
Marcelo landed in front of Jun. “Do you still think I'm just some third-rate fighter?”
“I guess I take it back. As a Greater Martial Arts Marquis, you might prove yourself a worthy opponent.”
Jun then reached for his katana, which remained sheathed, and aimed a strike at him.
“What insolence!”
Marcelo huffed out a breath at Jun's refusal to deploy a weapon and stretched out his right hand.
He caught hold of Jun's scabbard, and their electrifying auras clashed.
A loud boom resonated in the area, and Marcelo felt a humungous driving force radiating from the katana.
It uncannily passed through the blade without any resistance and penetrated his body.
Marcelo felt his heart stutter before his aura diminished. Stumbling several steps back, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
