Honda Shinichi was, indeed, greatly startled.
He saw Zhang Bin's Flying Sword continuing to shoot toward his brow like a bolt of lightning, its speed completely undiminished. What shocked him even more was that Zhang Bin hadn't fallen. He stood steadily on Xiao Xuanzi's back, a mocking sneer plastered across his face.
Impossible, absolutely impossible! No one can survive having their heart pierced! Honda Shinichi screamed inwardly in terror.
Logically, with his heart pierced, Zhang Bin should have died instantly. He would have lost control of his Flying Sword, and the threat would have been neutralized. But that was not what was happening.
"Ah…!" he shrieked in utter terror and fury, raising his hand in a desperate attempt to block the sword.
