As the two passed by one another, Chu Xisheng's Blood Refining Light Steel Blade cleaved through Zhuang Hongfei's soft armor like thunder and lightning, leaving a glaring bloodstain across his waist.
Zhuang Hongfei's "Golden Silk Soft Armor" was indeed tough and hard to breach, but the Blood Refining Light Steel Blade fortified with Chu Xisheng's True Yuan was extremely sharp.
Not only did his blade cut through the soft armor, but it also penetrated at least two inches into Zhuang Hongfei's waist, causing him to stagger upon landing, the sudden pain in his left waist nearly rendering him unable to stand steady.
Zhuang Hongfei's pupils dilated in fury, his thoughts momentarily coming to a halt.
This was partly due to the shock from Chu Xisheng's Sword Intent and partly from the astonishment in his heart.
This injury at his waist wasn't considered a serious wound, and it didn't significantly affect his movement technique.
Yet, Zhuang Hongfei was dazed and incredulous.
