"I believe it is my turn now"
Hearing Cao Man's words, the two who were measuring each other both sighed. They then retracted their weapons and bowed towards each other.
"It is my loss", the Dao Ming Zhu said.
"No, I am sure if it continued, I would have been the one to perish", Azurite said. He then looked towards Cao Man, "Would you also allow me to rest?"
"Sure", Cao Man replied nonchalantly.
It only took a few breaths before Azurite once again picked up his shield and readied his stance. "I am ready"
Hearing this, Cao Man summoned his golden staff.
The two did not exchange formalities, as they only nodded at each other. Cao Man was the first to strike, his feet leaving marks on the floor as he rushed straight towards Azurite. And with only two meters separating them, Cao Man swung his staff.
Azurite quickly raised his shield to block the oncoming attack.
But his shield suddenly disappeared again.
