Li Chen, I Will Kill You

Sword Saint Valley, Windflower City.

Li Chen sat cross-legged, his back against a tree, while he painted.

'Two bloodlines. Is that possible?' 

He thought, slowly moving the paintbrush. What he drew was the scene of his elements fighting.

'Light and darkness are two opposites and they are in one vessel. Ha~ There was bound to be a struggle eventually.' 

Looking at his painting, Li Chen smiled. 'I haven't grown rusty. I'm still a lot faster with the mask, though. But I'm not trying to create but to enjoy the process of each stroke.'

He sent the painting to his interspatial ring, got to his feet and left the valley. It was already late but he wasn't interested in sleeping.

'Rising Sun' officially made him a sword grandmaster, a level above a swordmaster, which was Old Li's level of attainment.
