Gongying Changxiu's body reacted faster than his mind. He swiftly raised Flowing Swiftly to parry, blocking the blade that was almost at his face with a CLANG.
But he immediately felt a vast and powerful force surge into his body. The impact almost scattered his Power, and he stumbled backward involuntarily.
His pupils shrank. 'This kind of power…'
The force of this strike was far greater than before. A Spiritual Shock also slammed into his mind. It wasn't overwhelmingly strong, but it was incredibly solid and condensed, forcing him to defend his Heart Jade.
But his opponent's attack wasn't just about power; the speed had also increased. Before he could rally his own Power, the second strike arrived.
Under these circumstances, he could only rouse his Essence Blood and forcibly muster his Power to block.
