"Villain, taste my sword!"
With an enraged shout, Ye Qingxuan moved like lightning, his sword gleaming coldly as he hurtled toward the mysterious, lean man.
At the same time, Lin Xiulan refused to be outdone. She brandished her Jade Sword and circled around from the other side, forming a pincer attack.
