1 month later. A few kilometers outside the capital to the west.
Pearl dashed from the left and used his White Tiger's Golden Claws. Alex dashed from the right and slashed with his poison sword.
Shen Jing simply put up a finger in each hand and diverted the attacks elsewhere.
Pearl used his golden threads to try and bind him. The threads wrapped around Shen Jing and it looked like it would stop him.
Shen Jing smiled and waited for Alex to attack.
Alex sent out a strong metal slash at Shen Jing with all of his power.
Shen Jing's body started shining golden all of a sudden and it spread out in a wave until it was a circular barrier around his body.
The golden threads that Pearl had wrapped him with broke apart like they were mere spiderwebs, and Alex's attack didn't even make a strong sound when it disappeared after hitting the barrier.
Even his Sword Qi which was supposed to keep attacking didn't remain for longer than a moment.
