Fury and Madness

The crescent slash flew forward, slicing through all ten serpents and vaporizing the roots. Ming Yue spared no time, flying straight for Cheng Wei. Thrusting Blood Moon forward, she aimed for his neck, looking to end the fight in one fell swoop.

But things were not going to be as easy as that. 

The old man moved his other hand, holding his palm over the ground. Wood grew out from it, forming a long staff that he used to deflect the attack. It spun around, redirecting the sword toward the ground with one end before using the other end to strike back. 

Ming Yue caught on quickly, using the Black Blade to block the attack. 

But her surroundings suddenly darkened as she saw the serpents looming over her. 

"I can use more than just my hands to control them."

Cheng Wei let go of the staff, jumping back and allowing the serpents to dive down. Seeing all ten of them going right for her, Ming Yue sprinted out, chasing after the old man.
