"Master Lin Chu. I'm surprised that I see you here and not Ning Lau or at least Ning Tian… Does that mean you didn't come to kill me?"
Lin Chu gave me a look as cold as a wraith's touch.
"Yujin, you have done many dubious stunts already, but this one is truly akin to a carp trying to jump above Heavens…"
I tensed.
"I bet my head is worth more than some treasures right now…"
Lin Chu would destroy me at close distance—he was just that much better at swordsmanship. Plus, my current sword was not the best for fencing.
Wraiths won't be of help, since we had equal control over them.
However, my flying sword was of higher quality. I could try keeping Lin Chu at a distance and attack with the long-ranged Fire techniques Tao Song generously shared with me. Then my chances looked pretty good.
