Chapter 285: Rainy Night, Overpass, Chu Tianjiao, Jun Yan
The asphalt surface of the elevated bridge violently trembled from the terrifying collision, as if it were about to collapse at any moment, yet no one took a single step back.
The next instant, the girl's skirt fluttered as she gave her wrist a subtle twist. Her flame longsword, like a nimble serpent, flicked aside the defense of that cursed blade, and a dazzling crimson sword light slashed diagonally downward with searing heat.
This was a basic technique from the Wind Capital Youth Palace swordsmanship.
Chu Tianjiao had carved this move into his muscle memory over the past twenty years.
Yet the sword light this girl unleashed—whether in speed, power, or that overwhelming pressure that seemed capable of cutting through anything—far surpassed the limits of what this technique was originally designed to achieve.
The sword light in Chu Tianjiao's eyes seemed to be boiling.
At the moment the blade was about to strike him, his body blurred into afterimages. His footwork crossed with extreme agility as he sidestepped and slid away. The cursed blade in his hand traced a silver-white arc through the air as he reversed into a classic thrust from fencing, shooting straight for the girl's throat like a meteor.
The girl neither dodged nor avoided. She spun the longsword in her hand into a dazzling flourish before her, adopting a defensive stance that resembled an elegant sword dance.
