"How dare you insult my respected master! You're courting death!"
Sato Kouten snorted coldly, his face immediately displaying a fierce expression, his eyes incredibly sharp like blades. The longsword in his hand emitted a piercing whistling sound. He said harshly, "The longsword in my hand is called 'Execution,' and with a single slash, it can take your life!"
"Even if your master were here, he might not dare to utter such words."
Ye Xuan scoffed a few times in disdain, a look of contempt deep within his eyes. He glared coldly at Sato Kouten, playing with his cup of tea, not taking Sato Kouten's threat seriously at all.
"Die!"
Suddenly, the sword in Sato Kouten's hand emitted a deafening screech.
"Swish!"
A brilliant sword light, like flowing water, slashed out instantly, cutting straight toward Ye Xuan.
"Youngster, with high ambition, lacks tempering."
Ye Xuan merely smiled faintly, very composed, and spoke softly.
