BOOM! Under the impact of their immense power, the platform beneath Wilhelm's feet suddenly collapsed and shattered.
But in both of their eyes, the world seemed to slow down. Debris from the shattered platform and splinters from the exploding spear drifted slowly outward, while the two men seemed frozen in mid-air.
Their gazes met in mid-air.
Only then did Wilhelm get a clear look at his opponent. He was dressed in the attire of the Dashun Military, his cloak and scarf fluttering behind him. What had shattered his spear was a gleaming Long Blade.
Chen Chuan's eyes were fixed on him. His strike had shattered his opponent's weapon. 'Against an attack like this, an unprepared opponent would have no time to adjust,' he thought. 'I could press my Sword Stance forward and take his head in the next instant, even if his strength is comparable to mine.'
This was the advantage of seizing the initiative.
