The sword the man had drawn was strange, as black smoke kept on emanating from it. He swung the sword with all his strength and actually managed to meet Shirong's whip on equal terms!
Both the parties were shocked by this though. Shirong that his wind and lightning whip was stopped and the men in strange garb that his black sword could actually not cut through this.
~buzz~
The conflict between the two forces was not calm and looked like it would break at any time. Shirong smirked and punched with his other hand.
~whoosh~
A jet of wind hit the man, pushing him back and breaking the attack. The man managed to withstand the blow as the black smoke coming from the sword formed a barrier around him when the jet of wind hit him.
