Anthony was no pushover. His katana rose, his body moving on pure reflex as he hadn't exactly tracked the Dullahan's movement speed, as it had been faster than he had anticipated. His katana positioned itself in an overhead horizontal block, and the moment it arrived in place, a thunderous clang tore through the very air as metal met metal.
Anthony's expression changed into a frown as he couldn't believe the amount of strength this Dullahan possessed; it was simply madness to him. His knees dipped forward under the force, the earth beneath his feet sinking in as the pressure intensified.
The reason Anthony was frowning was simple. Although his cultivation rank was at the Perfection Star Monarch rank, he wasn't at that stage physically. His Beginning Of All Things Physique allowed him to fight two realms above his own realm, meaning he could match a Heavenforge cultivator. Yet, this Dullahan was matching him; it was truly surprising.
