On the arena, Lan Ying assailed Lu Yuan from both sides with his dual swords. He was so fast that Lu Yuan, with his single blade, was forced onto the defensive.
"Lord Lu, is this all you've got? I'd advise you to just give up now," Lan Ying taunted, brandishing his dual swords.
Seeing his adopted son's ferocious assault forcing his opponent into a steady retreat, Marquis Yongchang, Lan Yu, boomed with laughter. "His Majesty the Emperor, it seems my adopted son will be the victor."
On the arena, Lu Yuan heard Marquis Yongchang, Lan Yu's, hearty laughter and thought, 'Win? It won't be that easy.'
Lu Yuan's speed suddenly exploded. He flashed to Lan Ying's side and swung his sword in a sideways slash.
Lan Ying hastily raised his left sword to block, exclaiming inwardly, 'So fast!'
Even as Lan Ying raised his sword, Lu Yuan had already struck him, landing a vicious slash.
