By now, some observant people were beginning to catch on. That's right, Xu Sanshi was retreating, but he wasn't completely on the losing end. Almost every step he took back was at the instant when his opponent's impact was at its strongest. With regards to controlling the onslaught of his defensive opponent's strength, Xu Sanshi had reached a level of perfection. Moreover, as he retreated, the shields in his hands were also subtly changing. Every broken shield was used to dissipate as much of the attacker's force as possible.

"Boom, boom, boom..."
