As the words fell, the Holy Slaying Saber unsheathed spontaneously. An unparalleled blade light dispersed all the darkness within the side hall. In an instant, the saber struck the spear shaft. A fearsome power pressed down. The spear shaft trembled violently, unable to withstand the force, and was flung sideways.
The sudden appearance of an ally caught Yi Ning by surprise. By the time he reacted, he saw the very spear that had been overpowering him now being subdued by a long saber.
"Pavilion Master Shen—"
Yi Ning recognized the saber as the one Shen Changqing wore at his waist. However, this realization hit him even harder.
What did this mean? He couldn't defeat the spear, yet that same spear was being suppressed by his opponent's personal saber. Didn't that imply that not only could he not defeat this Great Qin Defender Envoy, but even the Divine Weapon the envoy carried could suppress him at any moment?
