At the center of the queen's bedchamber, the clash between Su Xiao's weapon and the Ghost Queen's blades sent shockwaves spreading outward. They lifted a layer of stone tiles from the floor, and in the next instant, the flying fragments burst into dust that filled the air.
Su Xiao gripped a long blade in his right hand and held a blood spear in his left. After blocking the queen's twin blades, he felt the pressure but did not feel as though he might be unable to hold on. The queen was stronger than him, but not to the point where he could not withstand her.
When he had fought the old knight, he truly had been unable to withstand him. If one dared to block the old knight's Overlord Slash, there was a high chance one's blade would break.
The queen was a different type of powerhouse. She was slightly stronger than Su Xiao, while her speed surpassed his by a wide margin, especially her slashing speed.
That was what made the queen terrifying. Once she gained even a slight advantage over her opponent, even if they could defend against her successive slashes, she would only grow faster and stronger with every strike. In the end, her final slash would break through their defense and hack them apart. That was how Twelve Dual-Blade Mad Dog had died.
Although Su Xiao had blocked the queen's light-and-dark twin blades, he had not disrupted the rhythm of her attack.
With a sizzling sound, the light blade scraped along the edge of Dragon Slayer Flash, while the dark blade slid across the blade of the blood spear. The queen intended to disregard Su Xiao's blocks and defenses and build up her own momentum through repeated slashes.
Su Xiao would not allow that to happen.
