Su Sheng had just swung his sword when it violently collided with the Innate Energy. The residual Sword Qi suddenly sliced off the lower edge of Nine Barrels' mask, allowing him to instantly recognize the man in black as his old man, Sage Hand King Yama, and so he hurriedly forced himself to stop.
His flying backward was not a pretense, but due to the backlash of the Sword Qi; it was as if he had also withstood half of the sword's force.
But he was puzzled: if it wasn't for the coincidence of cutting off a part of the mask and recognizing the man as his dad, would his dad really have been able to withstand his Wild Wind Sword Intent? Or was it that he'd rather get hurt than lose face?
No matter how you looked at it, today he truly saw that his old man was a genuine Innate master, qualified to beat Chu Tianba black and blue, just like the previously confined Li Jiuzhou of Xingtian.
