The advancing slash was a simple attack. The slash cut through the air at the advancing expert. Lifting his sword he tried to block the sword energy from Hui Yue, but the sword in his hand trembled before it exploded into thousands of pieces of metal. This weapon was clearly not of superior quality.
The debris from the sword landed on the advancing experts causing superficial wounds. Although the wounds were nothing to these experts, they felt insulted that they were the first to shed blood immediately after the battle begin and the attack they had faced was nothing more than a shockwave of sword energy.
Xiao Ning dealt with seven Saints on his own. Although he was at a disadvantage, pushing his shields to their limits, he ensured that no one was able to wound him. While defending against so many though, he was completely unable to attack the Saints surrounding him.
