The time delay technique unleashed by the Supreme had some impact on Pei Yan, but under the opponent's own ability to counteract it, this effect was greatly reduced. Pei Yan's blade merely halted in the air before swiftly slashing down.
Yet, even with this pause, the essence and spirit of his slash were also largely resolved, and with diminished power, the blade swept horizontally across the Supreme's neck.
The moment the tip of Pei Yan's blade made contact with the other's skin, he knew the strike had missed. The long knife swept like a swallow skimming the water's surface, lightly grazing the Supreme's neck, creating ripples.
It was an illusion! That was Pei Yan's first reaction, but the opponent's movements in the next second overturned his assumption. The Supreme, standing in place, turned sideways and, with a backhanded elbow strike, aimed it at Pei Yan's forehead. Out of exploration, Pei Yan did not evade but raised his hand to block.
Boom!
