The moment Duanmu Xiao caught the first sword strike, his heart was already filled with the thought of retreat.
In that brief exchange just now, every aspect Chen Fei had displayed had completely exceeded Duanmu Xiao's expectations.
Circling Sword Softness was a purely defensive sword technique. There was no using defense as offense, no defensive counterattacks—it was simply about deflecting force and taking the opportunity to escape.
