Ming Su's movements were swift, and as he fell, he had already positioned the Judgement Staff horizontally to block the attack. The flexible sword struck the Judgement Staff but, being a flexible sword, its tip whipped across Ming Su's back causing bone-penetrating pain; a crisp "crack" sound was heard, and he felt a chill throughout his body.
Long before, Beiting Huang had escaped the encirclement using his superior movement techniques and the extreme speed of the boots on his feet. Now hovering in mid-air, the nine-colored flames beneath his feet made it seem as though he was riding on fire wheels. The flexible sword was tightly gripped in his hand, causing Beiting Huang's heart to tremble with shock.
The back of Ming Su's fiery red robe had been torn open by Beiting Huang's strike, revealing a corner of a treasured armor beneath. On the armor, a tiny crack appeared exactly where the flexible sword had hit.
