Endless Samsara Form

Shin Xuanji frowned. This was the first truly expressive emotion on his face since this fight had begun. In truth, he was in his strongest state, with an upper-level Dao empowering his dual cultivation base, yet Yan Zaizen had matched him in terms of aura and combat prowess. In their brief exchange earlier, he had lost. 

Yan Zaizen's swift and decisive strike completely toppled his own solid and forceful style. Each of his actions carried an inherent dominance. Therefore, it felt as if every strike would take a life. It was a harrowing experience to be at the receiving end. 

However, with his Dao, he remained fierce and fearsome, unaffected by Yan Zaizen's daunting aura and actions. 

A slight grin tugged at his lips.
