Before she had finished speaking, pitch-black flames surged forth from Huai Shi's chest. The blue bricks at his feet cracked and moaned, and Huai Shi executed Space Break and charged out.
The Invisible Axe descended.
As though she could perceive the Invisible Axe, Luo Xian suddenly executed an uncanny sidestep, dodging the axe blade by a hair's breadth. Her ears twitched slightly, an expression of dawning realization on her face.
"Is it an axe?"
"Well, that's hard to say." Huai Shi whistled. "An axe? A sword? No, perhaps it might even be a Long Spear... Want to try and find out?"
In his hands, the Source Substance on the Axe Blade kept transforming, constantly adjusting the axe head's center of gravity and length as he slashed randomly, deceiving Luo Xian's senses.
Luo Xian hesitated for a moment.
Opportunity!
Huai Shi's eyes widened, and he dashed forward again. But his sweeping axe was surprisingly blocked by the mop handle.
