Saito Takeji made his move with full confidence, and Lu Heng recognized it immediately.
It was his famous finishing move, "Tiger Claw".
This technique was known for its speed, not necessarily its high attack power, but it targeted areas such as the shoulders, neck, and head, where even a small amount of force, if landed, was lethal.
The moment Saito Takeji struck, he had already deemed his opponent as good as dead.
In a duel of this caliber, a single opening was enough to determine the winner.
The breach Lu Heng exposed was surprisingly large.
Saito even hesitated for a moment, wondering if Lu Heng had intentionally revealed such an obvious flaw.
Lu Heng had not intentionally exposed himself, the nature of the Zhenyue Style tended to reveal breaches at the front and sides.
Of course, with both fighters being at the Conception Level in their sword capabilities, it wasn't likely that a simple Zhenyue move would suffice.
Thus, Lu Heng had already prepared an alternative move.
