The h for a particularly rapid and thin blade to pass through, striking an unaware soldier who, after noticing the inco attack, was only able to move his arms in the way of the strike to reduce the i his life, the attack was still able to pierce through the layers of protection created by the soldier's very own essence, and cut through his skin and flesh

Pridefully, the hero in white gold armor stared at the injured body of the unconscious soldier he had just hit, fro for both tea cultivators, that his party was on the path of victory-or at least, that hat they thought

From the h, to the moment the strike hit, only a fraction of a second had passed, allowing the warrior to witness the result of his attack briefly before the vines would close once again-yet, a anized ly renouncing the random evasive ed attacks so far, the chae amount of power, and used it to boost their speed as they dashed towards the position of their injured companion Once theircultivators noticed that the soldiers had not moved in to rescue their cohtly packed formation composed of three ordered lines

The soldier's forrant each theolden armor, and was put in place so quickly, that the cha but open in his in shock as the end of the barrel of the soldiers' guns charged with vast aolden aruns at the exact sah the thick vines

As these beah, the sued to deflect several of the beaold ar ones, which he did by raising his sword in an attempt to protect his chest

Out of tiainst the warrior's sword, forcing his arm to jerk back due to the combined impact caused by the full power attack of half a dozen cultivators at a sie than his own Most of these attacks dissipated after landing onto the flat part of the sword-All but thich were instead deflected by the edge of the blade, and ended up striking the back of the fe her severely

Disappointed and enraged, the warrior in golden armor turned to look at the for, turned into beaht, and resu?” Asked the disembodied and proud voice of the champion of Dominance A question that was met with the silence of the chahs of the other observers, ere just there to enjoy the show
