"A Kairagi, Dancing Thunder."
As Kazuha blurted this out, Xiu Yuan followed his gaze and spotted that familiar figure.
Xiu Yuan and Kazuha rose at the same time. Kazuha had only just reached for his blade when a hand stopped him.
"Let me test the results of my recent training." Xiu Yuan watched the Kairagi, his eyes blazing with eagerness to fight.

This time, Xiu Yuan leaped into the air and brought a devastating kick crashing down with immense power.
Boom!!!!!!
The Kairagi's head was instantly
