Early Confrontation: Jiang Chen vs. Ye Fan

As Ye Fan approached Jiang Chen, his longsword striking down like lightning, the weakness Jiang Chen had been pretending to have suddenly disappeared. He quickly lifted his longsword to protect his head.

"Ye Fan! You really are cold-hearted and ungrateful!" Jiang Chen said, smirking. "I saved your life, and yet you still try to kill me!"

'What?! He was faking?!' Ye Fan thought, his face twisting in shock and disbelief.

However, it was too late for him to change his attack since he had already fully committed to it.

Ding―

The clash of swords created a deafening sound, and a massive shockwave erupted from where the two swords met. The clothing of both fighters fluttered noisily in the strong wind, and their hair flew about wildly.

'Damn it, he was hiding his real power!' Ye Fan seethed internally, as he was forced back by the impact, landing on the ground and glaring at Jiang Chen with a dark look.
