For the first time, shock showed on Zhang Zongyuan's face. He lost control of the long stick in his hand for an instant as a sudden surge of force smashed it onto the ground, scattering the gravel.
But revealing his long-held trump card so directly, Yang Yan had no desolation on his face, as if his previous efforts had not been in vain. He stepped on Zhang Zongyuan's stick and swung his long knife towards the hand that was gripping his forearm.
His reckless approach was utterly evident—how dare he step on the Six Level's stick?
With a twist and a shudder from Zhang Zongyuan, Yang Yan lost his balance. At the same time, the man pulled his arm, placing Yang Yan's hand directly in the path of his own blade.
In an instant, Yang was thrown off balance, wrestling left and right, as Zhang Zongyuan again thrust his stick mercilessly towards him.
