"Whoosh—!"
The clamorous wind blew in once more from afar, sweeping across this weed-ridden outskirts and pressing every blade of grass flat as though beneath an invisible force.
Fang Li and Kanzaki faced each other from a distance.
That distance was roughly ten meters.
Without a doubt, it lay beyond the attack range of Fang Li's Moon Blade and Kanzaki's Commanding Sword.
If they remained where they stood, those two weapons should have been unable to reach one another.
Unless they possessed a way to make up for that.
"Seven Flash..."
Suddenly, Kanzaki's low murmur drifted through the wind.
"Boom—!"
At that very instant, an explosion erupted.
It was no ordinary explosion.
It was an explosion caused by seven terrifying slashes that, the instant they appeared, whipped up the air currents and burst forth like a storm.
Kanzaki had merely placed her hand upon the sword at her waist, yet those seven slashes had already appeared.
Like seven invisible sickle weasels, they sliced through the air, gouged open the earth, and came roaring in on fierce gusts of wind.
Their speed was simply beyond what human eyes could easily catch.
Even the air wailed beneath those seven astonishingly swift slashes.
An ordinary person facing this attack would have been chopped into countless pieces in an instant, reduced directly to a pulp of flesh.
Unfortunately, Fang Li was not included among them.
"Flash Sheath—Four Crossroads..."
Blade light flashed into being.
"Swish swish swish swish—!"
They were four crescent-moon-like slashes.
Like curved moons suddenly appearing beneath a clear sky, they shot forth in interwoven paths like streaks of brilliant light.
In response to Kanzaki's seven utterly invisible, astonishing slashes, Fang Li refused to be outdone and unleashed four equally astonishing blade flashes.
Like storms colliding with one another, they crashed together fiercely.
