In the instant Lu Zhanyuan's longsword was almost touching Lu Xiao's throat, Lu Xiao's dagger had unexpectedly already slashed out.
With a metallic clang, the dagger forced the longsword aside.
Simultaneously, Lu Xiao half-turned his body, stepping forward in a bow stance, and continued the momentum of his previous move to fiercely slice upwards diagonally.
Lu Zhanyuan saw the swiftly approaching blade, and his heart seemed to skip a beat.
There was no time to block with his sword!
At the critical moment, Lu Zhanyuan stretched out his left arm.
The next second, the dagger cut into Lu Zhanyuan's arm. The blade instantly sliced through skin and flesh, then clove through bone, and ultimately pierced through his arm into his chest.
After all, Lu Zhanyuan was at the Peak of Qi, and in the instant the dagger entered his chest, he explosively retreated backward.
Even so, his chest was still sliced open by a huge gash, and blood splattered.
