The battle ended quickly. In truth, it could have been even faster—the way the Immortal Sword Intent crushed the Nine Swords Intent was no exaggeration. Out of respect for his seniors, Lu Bei had pulled his punches just a little bit.

Since he was grinding for experience, throwing in a bit of acting was no shame.
