The scenery between heaven and earth gradually emerged in his line of sight.

The emotions had brewed to his lips.

The next moment, his lips parted slightly, as he exhaled a word from his dantian: "East!"
He then rapidly stepped back five paces and stood with his sword raised.
"Face!"
Fencing upwards, he leaped three meters and delivered a sword cut.
