Chapter 181: Clash of Blood and Ice/ Dog eats Dog... (1).

Francis's words had barely come to an end before he dashed forward like a bullet. However, since Dan was expecting him, he met the charge with a forward thrust...

Dan had many years of training under his belt, and so did Francis. They had clashed numerous times over the years, but each had failed to best the other. Hence, what would determine the outcome of their current battle, was not technique, but strength.

As for what kind of strength, only the winner could tell...

Francis drew the {Higher Bloody Katanas} at his waist and swung them with unmatched precision. Since he was a bit taller than Dan, he used his height to his advantage, swinging one of his blades overhead, whilst he swung the other horizontally. At the same time, he displayed unmatched dexterity by twisting his body with one leg as a pivot and snapping the other forward like a whip.
