Faced with Ji Fu's trigger-happy spear thrust, it seemed there was no other option than to retreat.
However, Xu Laozhen knew that if he were to retreat at this point, he would be at the mercy of Ji Fu's spear technique. Every strike of his, building upon the previous, would give nothing in return to Xu Laozhen.
"So, how could I possibly retreat!?" Xu Laozhen, once again using his ability to visualize, drew an unusually hefty Qianxuan sword from his arsenal.
The first step for every swordsman in sword cultivation is to make handling a sword seem light as a feather. However, when facing a brute like Ji Fu, a different level of sword technique is required: making the light seem heavy.
Xu Laozhen had tried it, but to no avail. His sword was shattered, since the technique of making the light seem heavy could only create an illusion of weight, not the genuine article.
