The sword struck...
With the True Qi of his Postnatal Ninth Layer cultivation, Lu Chao broke through the force of the black-clothed guard's palm strike, his blade transforming into a scorching beam of light that lanced toward the guard.
In that instant, the disdain vanished from the guard's eyes. He stared at the scorching tip of Lu Chao's sword, which seemed poised to pierce his throat, and hastily retreated, pulling back his True Qi as he leaped away.
He fell back nearly ten paces.
With a single sword strike, Lu Chao had forced back an Innate Fifth Layer expert!
The exchange happened in a flash. To Luo Wendeng and the others, it looked as if the black-clothed guard had lunged for Cheng Yunsu, only for Lu Chao to unleash a scorching sword light that sent the Innate Realm guard reeling back.
"Oh...?"
