The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 724

With a sly smile, Daniel continued, "White, do you really think I'm stupid? You come swinging an axe at me, and I'm just supposed to stand here like a target, letting you split my head in half? Even the dumbest fool wouldn't do that!"

"Country bumpkin, don’t get ahead of yourself. You think just because you dodged my first strike that you can dodge the second?" White retorted, gripping his White Axe and launching another swift attack toward Daniel.

The axe moved with blistering speed, challenging the velocity of lightning itself. Yet, no matter how fast White's strike, it seemed sluggish as a snail in Daniel's eyes. As the second axe strike came rushing in, Daniel made no attempt to retreat—doing so would send him plunging backward into Moon landing's lake. Getting wet could lead to revealing situations, especially with the women nearby—wetness often sparks interest, in both men and women.

Being a decent man, Daniel wasn't about to give the ladies such a chance. So, with the axe descending upon him, he chose to leap agilely to the side. Right beside him stood a large tree, and with a jump, he landed nimbly up in the branches, five or six meters above the ground.

White couldn't help but sneer upon seeing this. "So, country bumpkin, you know some martial arts, jumping that high! What's the use, though? I'll just chop down this tree; then we'll see where you can hide!"
