Chapter 47: The Dance of Blades

The atmosphere grew suffocating as an eerie silence settled over the forest. The trees swayed, their leaves whispering ominously in the wind, as if warning of the imminent battle. A chilling aura spread across the air, and the spiritual Qi thickened to the point where even breathing felt heavier.

Xiao Chen stood at the center of it all, his grip firm on the Shadow Edged Blade, its dark surface gleaming with a ghostly sheen. His expression remained indifferent, but his body was taut like a drawn bowstring, ready to be unleashed at a moment’s notice.

Beside him, Xiao Rongyu shifted slightly, her amber eyes darting between the trees. Mistshadow pressed close to her leg, her silver fur bristling as a low whimper escaped its throat.

Then—

CRACK!

The earth trembled as heavy footsteps resounded from within the depths of the forest. Branches snapped, bushes rustled violently, and an oppressive pressure descended upon the area.
