Sealing The Heavens

Hou Mengyao crashed into the river, his vision spinning and his mind teetering on the edge of unconsciousness. The heavens qi within his body surged, rapidly repairing the damage to his cracked skull and restoring his clarity.

As he regained full awareness, he looked up and saw Feng Fan descending toward him.

Rage twisted Hou Mengyao's face. 'I won't lose!' he vowed internally.

The qi within him erupted, forcing the water around him into a vacuum-like void. His sword, which had fallen into the river during the impact, trembled before flying back into his hand as if called by an unbreakable bond.

Raising the blade high above his head, Hou Mengyao gathered all the power coursing through his meridians. Behind him, an ethereal figure of an immortal materialized, mirroring his stance with a sword lifted high.

"Cutting Heaven and Earth!" Hou Mengyao roared, his voice echoing like thunder.
