Feeling the sword's edge closing in, Lin Zihao had no choice but to swing his blade to block. He couldn't spare a thought for Yu Fei's potential feints, but because he was still wary, he held back about a third of his strength for a counter.
The instant their weapons met, Yu Fei suddenly accelerated. His arms became a blur, his sword humming and vibrating as it sliced through the air at incredible speed. In a flash, his longsword circumvented the arc of Lin Zihao's blade and thrust toward his head.
The miraculous combination of Electric Arm and Super Speed Reaction gave him a crushing advantage in close-quarters combat.
BOOM!
In that instant, Lin Zihao instinctively pushed his Martial Artist's minute senses to their absolute limit. He had no time to process the terrifying burst of speed from Yu Fei's sword, nor could he worry about a potential feint. If he failed to block this strike, it was all over.
