Xiao Chen found a quiet place just behind the sentries posted in the center of the semicircular shaped camp of theirs. He was fully dressed in his armor and he had his swords on his back. His swords were a single-edged blade primarily used for slashing and chopping. The blades of his swords were moderately curved and a few inches of the back edge of his blades were also sharpened.
The moderate curve of his blades allows them to be reasonably effective in thrusting attacks, also besides slashing and chopping. The handle of his blade was made out of ironwood then wrapped around by soft cord to increase his gripped on it. The hilt of his blade was made of pure iron-steel shaped like a ball with a protruding small spike at the end to be used to pummel his foes when the situation needs it be.
