Displaced
*Achoo*
Hao Xuan sneezed loudly, the sound echoing throughout the abandoned Beast Market and giving away his position.
*sniff*
"Heuheuheu," a comical laugh came out in response from one of the empty buildings, followed by a strange sound that sounded like an artificial voice, "Someone must be thinking about youuu~"
From the sound of it, it belonged to a man but there was no emotion behind it.
Hao Xuan pinched his itching nose and unsheathed the blade. He had already lost track of the creature but it chose to reveal itself to him of its own volition, which did not bode well for him.
Either it was confident enough in its abilities to hide, or arrogant enough to believe that he wouldn't be a troublesome opponent if it came down to mortal combat. But in any case, he wasn't taking any chances.
"Why don't you come out and fight me like a man?" he baited with an easy insult.
"Huehuehue! But I am no man, why would I fight like one??"
"But you talk like one."
