He suddenly raised his knife again, with a slash ripping through the air, as if the very atmosphere boiled from the shock. He then reversed his grip, and the knife immediately changed direction, slashing down towards the back of Hao Jian's neck.
Hao Jian remained calm, leaned back, and raised his sword to block the blade, preventing Bandit God's knife from striking down. As the initial attack failed, Bandit God instantly withdrew his blade, but in the process of doing so, Hao Jian quickly thrust his sword forward. Bandit God's eyes flickered as he instantly shifted his stance to a blocking position.
However, although the block stopped Hao Jian's sword, it was done hastily and lacked power, causing him to be knocked back by the sword. If not for his steady footing, he would have been sent sprawling to the ground.
