One Strike!
Resonant Strike through the Celestial Lord Blade at Strength 5,751, the secondary burst detonating from within the target rather than from the surface. Sun Tian had a defensive formation active at close range that he had deployed between the construct summoning and the formation technique.
The Resonant Strike's secondary burst bypassed the defensive formation's surface layer and detonated from within it.
Sun Tian staggered backward across the island surface.
He was not finished.
Sun Tian recovered with the speed of someone whose level made recovery fast even from serious impacts, already repositioning, already deploying the next layer of his capability. The engagement continued for another four exchanges, each one demonstrating the gap between level 166 with thirty-eight years of operational depth and level 200 with a mythical-grade weapon and sixty-seven acquired skills at that attribute scale.
The fourth exchange ended it.
