"How could this be..."
A voice filled with a mix of shock and rage echoed.
The leader, unbelievingly, watched his own sudden burst as he got up quickly, like a charging leopard, lunging in front of the opponent and fiercely smashing down the blade hidden in his wide sleeves, as if it were the peak strike of his career, even splitting the wind.
However... it was effortlessly caught.
Two slender, powerful fingers firmly pinched the blade.
"Like an ant trying to shake a tree..."
The young man in front of him smiled slightly, exerting a little force with his fingers, easily breaking the well-refined sturdy blade, and flicking the fragments back like lightning, moving so fast they were almost invisible, causing the leader to feel a piercing pain in his throat the moment his instincts warned him.
Blood flashed, and he clutched his throat tightly, slowly kneeling down, his expression changing from shock to disbelief in an instant.
