They were very similar to the energy weapons on the ground. The energy they shot out was very powerful. The ones from the sword technique sect would have a hard time facing such an attack.

It seemed that although they had made way for the front, the attacks from the side were still very powerful, causing a large number of casualties to the people of the sword technique sect.
