Nobody had expected Shen Yi to be the first to strike.
He gripped the Ceremonial Blade with both hands, its blade's dark light quickly fading into an absorbing pitch black.
This was his first full-strength strike since reaching the complete Jade Liquid Realm.
The Greed Wolf Banishes Evil technique, now enhanced by the Mighty Realm, exhibited sharpness like never before.
Clang—
The Ceremonial Blade slashed down fiercely without the grandiose presence of sword aura from before, silent, purely the essence of sharpness.
The Crocodile Dragon had been cautious in its rage but couldn't muster vigilance against such Blade Technique.
Only when the Black Blade neared did a chill run from the soles of its feet to the top of its head, its face showing shock as it stomped the ground, smashing its scale-armored elbow towards the blade.
To clash bodily against the blade's edge!
Crack crack—
There was neither the sound of flesh being cut nor of metal colliding.
