NOW, let's go a few minutes back. The moment when Luo Yan defended himself against an incoming sword attack.
Luo Yan reacted quickly, crossing his daggers to block the incoming sword strike. The impact sent a slight shock through his arms, but he deflected the blade to the side. He shifted his stance, stepping back just enough to avoid the follow-up attack while staying ready for whatever came next.
As the attacker stepped into view, Luo Yan recognized him immediately—Zephyr, grinning wildly with his sword still raised. His chaotic grin and reckless stance made it clear he was ready for another strike. His eyes were gleaming with excitement as he prepared to continue the fight.
"Hello there," Zephyr greeted with a wild grin. "I've been looking forward to this—finally, a chance to fight you."
