The light elemental energy scattered away as his internal energy circulation was messed up for a bit because of the impact.
The clan leader looked at Sam coldly, but the next second he revealed a surprised expression on his face. Because Sam didn't reveal any expression. He is not shocked, he is not pained, he is not even a bit rattled.
He is just calm and his face didn't betray any emotion that he might be feeling inside.
Taking advantage of that very fleeing momentary daze of the clan leader, Sam tried to stab him with the reaper sword. The spiritual energy violently circulated around the blade as he tried to penetrate the defense.
The clan leader reacted swiftly and pulled Sam over to the side and used his other arm to block Sam's sword by catching his hand.
