Even hiding behind his Defense Shield, Xia He still felt a massive impact.
The black energy on his shield could block the Thunder Power, but it couldn't stop the force of the Sword Momentum embedded within it.
The immense force traveled up the shield and into his arm, instantly numbing it completely. The shock even rattled his internal organs, and a trickle of blood seeped from one of his nostrils.
Although he had temporarily pushed Xia He into a desperate corner, Chu Qingyun didn't let his guard down. He remained wary of Xia He's Tier Four Soul Techniques.
The power of a Tier Four Martial Soul far surpassed that of a Tier Three one. It stood to reason that Tier Four Soul Techniques would also be vastly superior to Tier Three, possessing terrifying strength.
Moreover, the fact that Xia He possessed a Storage Ring was a huge surprise. And that shield… it was a Spirit Level Defense Shield.
'This guy's background must be extraordinary...' Chu Qingyun thought to himself.
