The two weapons clashed in a thunderous clang sending shockwaves. Weapon met weapon with bone-jarring force, shockwaves blasting outwards from the point of shattering impact. Gu Lei planted his feet, muscles tensed with the full expectation that the creature's feeble cane would splinter against his immense strength and superior thick iron might.
But the cane did not break.
Instead, a dreadful metallic groan echoed from the point of impact, rising in an ear splitting climax. Gu Lei's face twisted in twinges of first confusion and then dawning horror as his iron rod—his trusted weapon, his extension of unbreakable arrogance—began to buckle and bend like clay under the force of this dark fat creature's lazy swing.
GRRROOOOAAAANNNNN!
