Yun Che's gaze sharpened. He could clearly sense the terrifying power contained in this slash, a perfect fusion of pure Blade Dao will and the Law of Wind, domineering and razor-sharp.
Faced with this lightning-fast strike, he chose not to dodge. The silver-purple Non-Sword in his hand trembled lightly, silver radiance flowing along its blade as an equally majestic Sword Intent surged into the sky.

His Blade Dao possessed not only the swiftness of wind,
