Before Jun Chen arrived, Adolf’s offense and defense had been nothing short of flawless. If First Elder had been unable to bring him down, he would have had zero chance of escaping from Adolf’s hands—a truly formidable opponent.
After Jun Chen’s arrival, Adolf changed his strategy. Partly because he had been left in a rather battered state earlier by First Elder’s Shangqing Five Thunders Incantation, he switched to a purely offensive approach, abandoning defense altogether. First Elder’s face visibly strained, while Jun Chen hovered nearby, watching for an opening and waiting to strike.
Yet Adolf’s combat power was ferocious. By abandoning defense entirely and neglecting certain details, he inadvertently gave First Elder an opening. First Elder still had a trump card up his sleeve. Adolf reacted too slowly, and Jun Chen failed to intercept First Elder in time, taking a solid sword strike from Jun Chen that made severe injuries inevitable.
