With a thunderous "boom," the sound pierced through the forest, breaking the silence. The Black-Backed Long Saber swept up like lightning, tracing a sharp arc in the air. Li Xin's worry was clearly unnecessary; the branch turned into a spray of wood dust the instant it touched the blade, scattering in the air with an astonishing display of force.
Li Xin was stunned, his eyes widened in disbelief at the scene before him. He felt an indescribable shock welling up within him. He hadn't expected Luo Chen to be able to so effortlessly fend off his attack. It should be noted that even though he only used a branch, his force and aim were honed through countless practice sessions, making it nearly impossible for ordinary people to block it so easily.
