*Bang!*
Another shockwave came as Johnson's hammer struck the ground, sending the troublesome echoes again.
'Damn, I shouldn't have been overconfident while facing fifth-stage cultivators.'
Ken cursed under his breath as he tried to disengage again after opening his eyes. Luckily, he reacted fast, and the Qi that blocked his ears deflected at least twenty percent of the echo's effect.
The fight raged on for another minute, and it was one of Ken's most embarrassing moments ever since he was born in the cultivation world.
The fight seemed one-sided, and not in Ken's favor; he'd keep dashing from place to place, crashing with a tree almost every time he used One Step to avoid the incoming hammer.
But Johnson didn't let his strike go to waste even when it missed. Instead, he'd use the strike to send another wave of disorienting echoes to create an opening for his next swing.
'I can do it!'
