Only when Second Lei unleashed his full power did Zhao Zuo truly sense the immense gap between them. He hadn't expected anyone to be able to block the Sky-Breaking Saber's surprise attack from that distance. An unprecedented pressure bore down on him, as if he were trying to uproot an ancient tree that had stood for centuries.
Zhao Zuo was keenly aware of the chasm between them. For a brief moment, hesitation and the urge to retreat flickered in his heart, only to be immediately replaced by resolve. All he could do was continuously use his Golden Light Mirror to block the onslaught, trying to stall Second Lei.
In truth, Second Lei also knew that retreating was the most rational choice. However, he couldn't stomach having paid such a price only to fail at killing a mere ant. Besides, he was overcome by greed for the two Middle Grade Magical Artifacts.
