But, it's enough!
The Sword Qi Barrier dissipated most of the force from this strike.
Su Xing quickly reacted, his figure retreating violently through the air, adjusting his breathing as he leveraged his physical body to cleverly deflect the residual impact of the attack.
In this way, Su Xing dangerously yet safely blocked the sneak attack.
After putting some distance between himself and the Shadow Deity, Su Xing let out a breath of relief.
It was only at this moment that Su Xing finally got a clear look at the appearance of the assailant.
This Shadow Deity stood barely one meter tall, almost like a condensed shadow.
Its entire body was covered in sharp, dark-red spikes; its pitch-black skin blended seamlessly with the shade of the trees, camouflaging it perfectly.
Its three-inch-long claws were so sturdy that they rivaled Innate Treasures in durability!
Lean and wiry muscles packed with shocking strength were concealed within its small frame.
