Throwing caution to the wind, Hao Xuan held the glaive horizontally and swung it from left to right without any regard for his own safety. He put every little bit of strength he could muster behind that swing.
Only in a situation like this would such a wide and open attack had any chance of connecting with its intended target.
His movement was so sudden that the mermen were completely caught off guard. No one expected him to do something so utterly preposterous.
The first and the closest mermen to Hao Xuan were those carrying light weapons like serrated swords and daggers. There were five of them and they were also the ones that took that attack head-on.
Hao Xuan's body swung in mid-air like a top. Using that momentum and the force generated by the previous movements, he only used raw strength to go against these monsters.
It looked flashy but the idea behind it was very simple, to hit hard and fast.
