Tachibana Muneshige's heart hardened, and he tilted his head to let the Biyuan Sword pierce his own left collarbone as the First Snow continued to head straight for Li Yan's chest.
As the two horses intertwined, Li Yan released the reins, leaned to avoid the long sword, and at the moment his mount caught up to Tachibana's horse's tail, he suddenly reached out to pull out the Biyuan Sword, carving a large gash from Tachibana's left shoulder. The flickering green light and the black Daimyo's Ghostly Power swirled over Tachibana's wound for a moment before vanishing.
Having been bested in their two exchanges, Tachibana Muneshige, in a frenzy, swung his First Snow broadly to drive Li Yan back, then turned his horse to press the attack!
