Xinzi's move took the city guard by surprise. True, so far, all the momentum gathered around the demon—yet Burning Spear supercity's experts didn't expect it to target their commandant right off the bat. After all, most of the energies binding the city guards together, passed by their commandant—enabling him to tap into their cultivation bases to bring his own strength to superior levels.
A lion's face took shape on Xinzi's chest. Its head protruded from our monk's armored skin, sticking towards the Burning Spear Commandant with its jaw opened wide. An ear-splitting roar thundered, blasting through the guards and officers' eardrums.
Their radiant orange helmets failed to provide any resistance, enabling the sound-waves to maul their hearing and dull their senses. Dazed by the roar, the guards couldn't assist their commander, leaving him alone to contend with the demonic foe.
