Chapter 67 Book 2 Village Guard VS Lanky Man

The arena buzzed with tension as the crowd gathered, their voices a cacophony of anticipation. On one side of the arena stood a lanky man covered in a black cloak. His long blade gleamed gleaming ominously under the noon sun.

The lanky man's name is Huang Gu. His name alone sent chills through those watching—a feared assassin, ranked among the top 100 fighters in the Fir Empire. He was a predator, a name whispered in fear across the Empire.

On the other side was a simple-looking village guard. His posture was unassuming, his worn armor barely fitting, and his crude sword—little more than a dull hunk of iron—looked laughable next to the assassin's weapon. His posture was relaxed, almost lazy as if he were uninterested in the battle. His unremarkable appearance drew mocking laughter from the crowd. But he stood firm, his grip on the sword steady. His calm, almost indifferent demeanor intrigued some of the onlookers.
