Zhou Zhengxiang spoke lightly, but he knew that Carey would not make empty threats. He shielded himself with Qi, closely watching Carey's every move. Carey did not rush to attack; instead, he repeatedly wiped the heavy sword in his hand until it was free of even a speck of dust. Then, he looked up at the highly cautious Zhou Zhengxiang and said, "A thousand miles of illusions, a solitary blade. Zhou Zhengxiang, beware."
As the final word left his mouth, Carey soared up, thrusting the heavy sword swiftly. This thrust was both rapid and quick, completely unlike the typical heavy sword style. The heavy sword weighs at least ninety pounds and is so heavy and thick it cannot be sharpened; its tip is round and blunt. The typical thrusting style of a longsword is unsuitable for a heavy sword, which relies totally on the user's strength to deliver powerful chopping strikes with a simple motion, similar to saber techniques.
