Chen Chuan stood firm, his feet planted on the ground as he braced against the sudden force erupting from the Long Sword.
The Power within it seemed all-pervasive, possessing an incredible penetrating ability, but it hadn't been fully exerted. As a result, he managed to block it without having to use his Second Self to redirect the impact.
He and Nie Guanshan had just moved to intercept. Although they acted one after the other, Chen Bitong's shuttling was so fast that it all seemed to happen at the exact same moment.
When his sword first met Chen Bitong's Short Sword, a counter-shocking force was transmitted back as he unleashed his own Power. However, he wasn't pinned down by it. Instead, he used his spirit to track his opponent's next move and, just as expected, caught the tip of the Long Sword as it shuttled through space, intercepting it just in time.
