The knight defensively held up his shield, as if, like Chen Ke, he too was waiting for his opponent to reveal a weakness. Heavy panting and inhuman whispers leaked from gaps in the full-face helmet, exposing that the knight was merely an undead, without humanity or soul, nothing but a humanoid beast.
All its movements stemmed solely from its past training memories, devoid of any added experience, and incapable of adaptive changes based on the actual situation. Although Chen Ke was unfamiliar with swordsmanship, he was well-versed in various killing techniques and was careful enough not to lose.
Chen Ke ignited the Fire-igniting Broadsword, and although it couldn't genuinely harm the knight, the flames should attract some of the knight's attention. He made a feint with moves actually based on the practical techniques of Calisthenics using short sticks and daggers.
"duang duang!"
