Only a few months had passed since Rean last saw Saria, so she obviously was still in the Space-Bending Realm Initial Stage, just like before. Rean, too, was in the exactly same realm. That said... Saria was simply not his match!
*Tchin!*
As surprised as Rean was with the attack, Saria was too slow in his eyes. He extended his fingers, covered it with his Sky Energy, and caught the blade of her sword.
Saria looked at that as if she was dreaming. She could feel Rean's cultivation, which was the same as hers, so how could he overwhelm her that easily?! Not only that, but she put all her strength into pulling the sword back, and yet, the two fingers Rean was using to hold the sword in place didn't budge. "Let go!"
"Errr..." Rean didn't know how to react. "Would you let go even though you know you would be attacked again?"
Saria narrowed her eyes. "Shut up! Just die already! How dare you betray the sect for the robots?!"
