Tai Si was taken aback. He instinctively flicked his sword to deflect the giant axe—the burst of wind from the sword sent the shattered wall fragments flying backward. However, he still gasped involuntarily, "Executioner!"
The massive skeleton did not hold back just because he was a core member of the All Things Return to One. With its burning eye sockets, the first thing it saw was Tai Si's thin sword intercepting its giant axe. The Soul Fire flickered slightly, and its right claw immediately stabbed forward, aiming directly at the ribs of the Erune nobleman.
If that strike were to land, a normal person's upper body would probably explode. But Tai Si calmly extended his left hand to block the Crusader Executioner's attack. His movement was not large, but under his grip, the right claw of the giant skeleton could not advance an inch.
