Rean's charge surprised his enemy. He didn't think Rean would make it through his Flying Sword Array like that. Without much choice, he could only open distance from Rean and his clones while attacking. He was a range-type cultivator, after all. However, he truly underestimated the speed Rean could achieve with his enhancement ability.
Rean kicked the water under his feet and advanced much faster than the enemy retreated. As for the flying swords, he and his clones disposed of them all with Three Claws of the Dragon. Rean could have used the Reversive Arcs to defend himself. However, it was easier to advance if he attacked back.
Eventually, Rean arrived at his enemy's range. 'You aren't the only one with ranged attacks.'
'Death Style, First Form, Stellar Piercer!'
"What?!"
