Fang grabbed a specially made Chanaean sword from a soldier next to him, then strode toward Wafu.
The two of them stopped five meters away while facing each other.
In an indifferent tone, Fang ordered, “Draw your sword. Let's fight.”
Wafu subtly nodded and unsheathed his katana with a click. He held it with both hands and aimed it at Fang as he murmured, “Let's fight.”
Fang yelled, “Come on!”
He proceeded to charge forward, leaving vivid afterimages behind as he darted toward Wafu.
His style of combat was adopted from the military, and he liked to keep it simple. His moves were straightforward but as fierce as they could be.
The sword in his hand glinted and went straight for Wafu's throat.
Wafu's pupils enlarged. The lightning-fast movement of Fang's blade seemed to have slowed down abruptly.
Right after that, he swung his katana.
It barely managed to block the sword and a crisp sound was heard.
Both Fang and Wafu trembled before taking a few steps back.
There were shocked looks in their eyes.
They realized they had underestimated each other.
For the first time, Fang's gaze hardened into a serious one. “I see you've got some skills. I'm just a tiny bit surprised.”
There was a somber look in Wafu's eyes as well. “So, that wasn't enough to shock you. Let's go again.”
He proceeded to make a swift movement and whizzed over to Fang. The blade of his katana glistened as he swung it down on Fang.
That slash was as swift as a bolt of lightning.
A regular elite would have panicked and lost their life.
Fang, however, was totally silent and calm. In the face of his opponent's blade, which was about to slice into him, he withdrew his own sword.
There was a loud clang as the sword blocked Wafu's katana.
Wafu's lips quirked into a smile. “Have you ever seen the cherry blossoms in full bloom?”
Upon hearing that, Fang was stunned for a moment.
It was then that he noticed that the scene before him was an illusion.
All of the sounds around him grew distant, and everyone in the area seemed to have disappeared.
He found himself standing in the midst of countless cherry blossom trees.
The cherry blossoms growing on the branches fluttered down along the wind.
The flowers dotted the sky as they floated down, which was a sight to behold.
