The black sword shadow was deflected by a strike, but the invisible sword energy released from it still slashed Yan Luo's shoulder, leaving a cut.
Upon seeing this scene, Yan Luo was not angry but delighted instead. He quickly formed a hand seal, and as the yellow light around his body retracted, his skin restored to its original state. He then laughed heartily and called out to Liu Ming:
"Haha, Brother Liu's sword control technique is truly astonishing. If I didn't have a pair of gloves woven from silver silkworm threads, whether my Copper Gong spiritual body could have withstood it would have still been uncertain!"
"Brother Yan is too kind! I've only just mastered this sword control technique and haven't yet been able to wield it as freely as I would like," Liu Ming replied with a slight smile as he recalled the black sword which had returned to its original form with a beckon of his hand.
