Swoosh!
The two swords fell from mid-air, followed by a sudden retreat from Xu Que.
The Sword Spirit paused for a moment and seemed puzzled. He had been enjoying the fight but suddenly it seemed that this human didn't want to continue any longer!
Could it be that he has conceded defeat? he thought.
The crowd was baffled as well. They even thought that perhaps Fujiwara was thinking of running away again!
Brother Fujiwara, why are you so troublesome?
The sparring was so intriguing! We haven't gotten enough of it!
Why did you stop all of a sudden?
You're not really going to run away, are you?
Don't do the same thing more than three times! You've already run away twice!
Everyone's line of sight was fixed religiously on Xu Que.
Fortunately, Xu Que didn't let everyone down this time—he didn't run away.
