'Shit!'
The shadow returned, but this time Xun Wei reacted faster. She twisted away as the figure lunged, attacking with feral speed, pressing her relentlessly like a starving beast.
Blow after blow came down on her as she retreated, dodging just long enough to reclaim her sword.
Steel met motion.
And finally, she saw her attacker clearly.
It was a little girl, only 15 or 16 years old.
Her face hidden behind a veil.
And the killing intent pouring from her was anything but childish.
"Who are you?" Xun Wei demanded, blade lifting as her stance settled.
The little girl tilted her head, a crooked smile curling beneath the veil. "My name doesn't matter," she said lightly. "Just know this—our clans are enemies, Divine Swordsman."
Xun Wei's pupils contracted.
'Chaos Sect…' the realization struck her like ice.
She didn't hesitate.
Three rapid hand seals flashed. Then a formation circle appeared.
