As the words fell, under the endless moonlight, the battle officially began.
Xu Yuan turned into a lingering shadow dashing through the rice paddies, his Willow Ghost Blade in his hand dragging a ten-meter-long blood-red streamer into the soil, and as he flicked the blade upwards, not a single gleam of sword light followed, instead, willow sprouts broke through the soil.
In just a few breaths, the sprouts grew into a vast and eerie forest of Thousand-Thorn Ghost Willows stretching across the boundless rice fields.
The grotesque withered willow trees interlinked their branches, forming a massive curtain that concealed Xu Yuan's figure, blocking O'Reilly's line of sight.
O'Reilly was a woman so clever she was almost demon-like.
And combat, such as this, was not merely about fighting and killing; it was a competition between the intelligence and talents of both parties.
