Dong Taiqing's plan was sound. Logically speaking, a Martial Artist at the Blood Qi Realm Middle Stage like him had no reason to fear one of the Optimized in close combat.
That was, however, based on common sense.
But where Lin Xinghai was concerned, things rarely went according to common sense.
Dong Taiqing unleashed a flurry of sword moves to envelop Lin Xinghai while also activating his Superpower, commanding all the small, pale-gold swords to fly back. It was a perfect kill-zone.
But then, something he never could have imagined happened.
Lin Xinghai's Speed didn't decrease in the slightest. On the contrary, it surged dramatically, and his figure seemed to turn ethereal, like countless overlapping afterimages.
The greatest strength of the Phantom Body Technique had never been its boost to Speed, but its ability to weave and dodge within a small area.
