Most people in Tayar will tell you that they have never seen two sovereign level cultivators fight.
After all, it just doesn't happen.
Surviving in Tayar requires that you be cautious and smart with your battles.
Most who have strength do not choose to fight someone so evenly close to them in power, and instead choose to suppress the weak to satisfy their lust for notoriety and superiority.
Therefore, each of the fallen here were mystified by the fact that they were watching two high level cultivators engage in true, open combat.
And they were going to take special care to burn this scene into their minds.
Taira ran across the surface of the water while twirling the heavy sickle in the air like a propellor.
