"You're here."
The man in black, whose hands were covered in sharp, black-clawed gloves, stared at Xu Qing with a piercing gaze. "So you're the Sword Dao expert who killed Black Shadow?"
"Some secrets are best left unknown."
The woman's tone was cold.
"But I happen to be a very curious person."
Xu Qing shrugged.
CLANG!
A sword rang out.
The woman struck first. Her figure vanished, and in the next instant, she reappeared behind Xu Qing, her right hand drawing a Long Blade Sword from her back.
SWISH!
The slash unleashed a brilliant Sword Light and a sharp Sword Aura, aimed precisely at Xu Qing's neck.
Without a doubt,
if this strike landed, Xu Qing's head would be severed from his shoulders.
However,
the woman's strike met only empty air. Xu Qing was faster. With a single step, he vanished from his spot, leaving behind nothing but an afterimage.
Thus,
the woman's sword only managed to slice through the lingering phantom of Xu Qing.
KRAK!
