Chapter 65: Shadow Extinction

Gu Qiying had ultimately managed to block that swing of the sword.

Just before the strike, he raised his right arm to block it, deviating its path from its intended course.

Though his arm took a deep, bone-deep slash, fortunately, his neck sustained only a shallow cut.

His life was saved, but in this round of exchange, he was the loser.
