Born to Fight! Until Death Do Us Part!

"Your way of fighting is very interesting."

Pluto King spoke, his voice still deep and heavy, carrying a philosopher's composure. "You don't defend. You only attack. Every time you strike, you trade wound for wound, life for life."

Situ Xuan wiped the blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. It had been jarred out by Pluto King's punch just now.
