"Elf Secret Arts: Piercing Red Thorns Sword"
While Xue Lai was maneuvering, Tu Mu remained motionless, but when the former launched a surprise attack, Tu Mu sprang into action as if he could see behind him.
The greatsword, like a stone monument, swung back in an arc through the air, and Tu Mu's body twisted, resembling a massive steel anchor rotating with the greatsword, the pressure of the wind it brought up screaming like a high-pitched wail.
In that moment, it was too late for Xue Lai to retreat. In a microsecond, the solid tombstone-like greatsword collided with the crimson blade, scattering the condensed red magic power on it, sending the sword flying from Xue Lai's grip and breaking his right hand with a crisp snap.
The sword blade continued to sweep toward Xue Lai's face, but fortunately, the opponent was quick to react and, coupled with Tu Mu's greatsword not being known for its speed, barely managed to dodge.
