Li Baobao's shock and discomfort were not clear to Xia Hong.
At the moment of slashing out sword energy towards the Red Flame Demon General, he clearly perceived his current basic strength to be 298 jun, a full 128 jun increase compared to the Peak of Xianyang.
This was just basic strength, not the full combat power he was exerting!
The Holy Pattern's forty-five percent boost was already 447 jun, and just as he decided to turn and face the Red Flame, he swallowed a Bone Burning Pill in a flash.
Therefore, the sword edge he launched with all his strength reached a force of 670 jun!
Crucially, he hadn't used any martial arts techniques, merely slashed with the sword, so this 670 jun wasn't his maximum possible power.
