Just as it seemed Theron had every intention of meeting him head-on, he used [Shadow Step] again.
Blackmaul found himself caught off guard, almost like swinging a fist through a cloud. He was expecting, with all the momentum Theron was building up, that they would have an epic clash, but instead he stumbled through where Theron had been before.
This time, Theron only left three afterimages in his wake and flashed away a full meter. Unfortunately, he failed to follow up. He had expected to be able to swing his weapon and attack Blackmaul when he was caught off guard, but his skill wasn't high enough.
It was too hard to time his reconstruction and his attack at the same time. It led to a small pause, and Blackmaul's cultivation was too high not to recover in that small time frame.
The latter swung out his club to the side to meet Theron's attack.
BANG.
