Facing Ying Qushui's all-encompassing sweeping sword strike, Yanyan neither dodged nor evaded. He planted his feet apart, and cyan Qi instantly enveloped him. A character representing "Man", condensed from Noble Qi, manifested over Yanyan's body.
"Boom!" The sword-palm struck Yanyan's neck, yet it was as if it both hit and missed. The sword-palm and the endless sword Qi it carried stopped three inches away from Yanyan's neck, unable to advance even a fraction further. Nor could the tremendous force cause Yanyan to move even half a step.
Yanging Qushui was not a master of body-tempering arts and lacked such formidable physical resilience; to turn one's body into a sword meant the body itself must bear the brunt of the impact.
