In the roar of clashing steel, fractures spread from the silver axe and the Sickle Sword.
Shattered axe blades burst forth, and the Eye of Horus atop the Sickle Sword shattered with them.
In that instant, Old Xiao roared.
Without a word, they both discarded their broken weapons, swung their fists again, and collided fiercely. Amidst the Chimera's roar, Huai Shi swiftly evaded an incoming punch, then jammed his raised fingers into his opponent's throat, stuffing the roar back down.
Immediately afterward, with a contraction of his wrist, his raised fingers suddenly clenched into a fist and thrust forward again, smashing into the Sphinx's forehead amidst a booming noise.
This was the last straw.
This time, the fragile skull could no longer withstand the punch. It shattered with a dull sound, its last head nearly gone.
