Chen Chuan lowered his center of gravity, bringing his long blade up with both hands to parry. The blade and axe collided once more. The impact sent a shudder through both of them, scattering billowing clouds of snow and dust.
Chang Kuanghai grew even more excited. He used the force of the impact to swing his long axe high once more. He held the handle with one hand at the pommel and the other near the axe head, his whole body tensed as if pulling it upward with all his might. After a brief pause, he put his full strength into his arms and brought it crashing down in a massive cleave!
A distant look entered Chen Chuan's eyes. He had seen a similar move from Wei Wusheng before. The only difference was that one had used a hammer, and the other, a great axe.
