High above the void, the two reeling figures were each surprised in their hearts.
The man in the long robe only took two steps back, but his surprise was much greater than Duan Qingcang's, who had retreated seven or eight steps.
Because this time was not like the years before.
Back then, he was already at the Demigod Realm, and seeing Duan Qingcang's exceptional talent, he had casually tested his strength, perhaps only exerting about twenty to thirty percent of his power.
This time, he held nothing back and struck with his full might.
Yet even so, he still found himself pushed two steps back, which was somewhat inconceivable.
"How can you manage to wield the power of a demigod to such an extent, considering you've only just broken through?" the man in the long robe stared at Duan Qingcang with a mix of astonishment and suspicion.
"What do you think?" Duan Qingcang said, while trying to calm the tumultuous energy inside him.
