Chapitre 154: Kengyoku

The look on the city watch captain's face did not change much, but the delight was palpable in his eyes. Without regard if it was an ambush, he energized his qi, drew his sword and swung it down at Mufasa!

A bright red 'Danger'¹ character that only Mufasa himself could sense appeared over his head.

That blow couldn't be blocked!

Nonetheless, Mufasa's heart stirred—clenching his mercurial blade, he rattled it, directly repelling Bolt's blow instead of trying to parry it!

His move should have sent Bolt flinching and staggered him enough to leave him defenseless, thereby creating an opening for a flurry of strikes. Bolt, however, did not so much as shake as he easily nullified the reflected blow, denying Mufasa his opening.

Mufasa could not help being stunned.

But unbeknownst to him, Bolt was even more stunned despite keeping a poker face.
