Lin Hao knew that Ye Xiao was powerful but he never thought Ye Xiao to be this powerful.
Feeling the destructive power of Ye Xiao's First Style of the Sea Dragon Descends, Lin Hao felt that this attack of Ye Xiao was in no way inferior to the Second Slash of his Transversing Shadow Sword.
He had already practiced the Transversing Shadow Sword to its second slash.
The First Slash of the Transversing Shadow Sword required him to comprehend the First Stage of the Sword Way, Sword Light while the Second Slash required him to comprehend the Second Stage of the Sword Way, Sword Intent.
Although he had already comprehended the Sword Intent, he was still not at the level where he could display the full power of the Second Slash of the Transversing Shadow Sword.
