"The sword is ready," Baracus informed.
"Just in time, the second beast is right ahead."
Hao Xuan made a grasping motion to take out the blade. It was a little over 1.2 meters long with a simple and traditional design. The only thing that stood out was its bulky "fat" blade almost 3 times wider.
He paused momentarily when the second beast was less than 40 meters away.
After taking a few deep breaths to regulate his breathing Hao Xuan held the sword in front of his chest while trying to recall the memories from that specific lifetime.
"First step....third step...fifth step...there are a total of Nine Steps in the Sword Scripture, I know that for sure but...Argh! I can't recall any of them! And this sword feels dead, it doesn't feel good to hold. I thought I was holding a corpse for a second."
It was like trying to hold water with an open hand, all the memories were slipping right through him.
