At the Training Ground.
Su Ye and Edward stood facing each other.
The fight was about to begin.
"Brother Long, watch out!"
Edward called out a warning and struck first.
His expression was utterly serious. He did not underestimate Su Ye in the slightest for being only at the Sixth Heaven.
On the contrary, Edward treated Su Ye as a formidable foe. He opened with an Ultimate Move.
"Mars Like Rain!"
Edward raised his hand.
A swarm of fireballs appeared at his summons and hurtled toward Su Ye like a downpour.
It was an area attack that could strike multiple enemies, but even in a one-on-one fight, it was a Killing Move.
The rain of fireballs sealed off every escape route, leaving its target no choice but to defend.
Under ordinary circumstances, at least.
Su Ye was no ordinary person.
Whoosh—
A blood-red light flashed. Su Ye's figure flickered several times, and he slipped through the dense rain of fireballs with effortless ease.
"Good! Excellent footwork!"
Edward shouted his praise without slowing his attack.
Mars Like Rain had only been the appetizer.
He had never expected it to defeat Long Aotian. He had used it to restrict Long Aotian's movements.
As Mars Like Rain fell, Edward's true Killing Move followed close behind.
"Phoenix Howling Heaven Slash!"
Flames roared along the long saber in Edward's hand.
They surged and spread like the wings of a phoenix.
As he swung the saber, a piercing cry rang out.
"Nice Saber Technique."
Su Ye praised him too. At some point, a long saber had appeared in his hand.
It looked like a standard-issue Patrol Bureau saber. It was plain, but sturdy enough.
It made up for his inability to use the Blood Shadow Battle Saber while acting as Long Aotian.
Clang—
The two sabers
