"You don't need to dirty your hand, brother Jianyu," the older Extolite said. "I will be enough for this arrogant young man."
The middle-aged man eyed the older man before shrugging. "Very well. I'll let you handle him. Exercise caution though, he did beat the chief."
"I'm much stronger than the chief," the old man said, pulling out a spear from his storage bag. He turned toward Alex, his head proud and upright. He looked down on Alex.
Alex grabbed his sword tightly, staring at the old man, trying to discern just how strong he was. Extolites were supposed to be very strong, so he needed to be ready.
Green aura surrounded the old man and he charged. His figure turned illusory, seemingly hiding within the wind. Alex took no chances.
His sword immediately burned with bright white light as he sent out a slash full of Sword Qi. The old man entered the range of Alex's attack right as it happened and was struck in the chest by the strong attack.
Instantly, the man was thrown backward.
