*Bang!*
'Damn, I shouldn't have been overconfident while facing unknown fifth-stage cultivators.'
Ken cursed under his breath as he tried to disengage again after opening his eyes. Luckily, he reacted fast, and the Qi that blocked his ears deflected at least twenty percent of the echo's effect.
The fight raged on for another minute, and it was one of Ken's most embarrassing moments ever since he was born in the cultivation world. He finally understood why the Serene Lotus Sect was dangerous; the man wasn't very strong, but his strange methods were difficult to counter without preparation.
The fight seemed one-sided, and not in Ken's favor; he'd keep dashing from place to place, crashing with a tree almost every time he used One Step to avoid the incoming hammer.
But Johnson didn't let his strike go to waste even when it missed. Instead, he'd use the strike to send another wave of disorienting echoes to create an opening for his next swing.
'I can do it!'
