Pursuit

Lu Yuan's strike was heavy and forceful, without a shred of flourish.

It was pure force breaking through skill.

Naturally, Hua Wugou did not dare take this blow head-on.

Her purple figure flickered, narrowly evading the blade's edge.

The Rusty Saber hacked down where she had just stood. With a boom, it cleaved a trench three feet deep into the ground, sending dirt flying.
