That day, while Meng Haimang was locked in a struggle with Tianpoxun, his sole intention had been to stall his opponent; he had no desire to engage in a protracted battle. When he finally managed to shake Tianpoxun off through sheer effort and began searching everywhere, he was shocked to find not a single trace of Ji Zhou and the others. More bewildering still, his spiritual connection with Ji Zhou had been severed. With no other options, he masked his presence, assumed the form of a low-level Asura warrior serving under Minghua, and followed the trail until he reached this spot.
Meng Haimang was not accustomed to using a sword, but seeing a blade discarded by a fallen Asura warrior nearby, and observing Xu Ruoping in imminent danger, he acted without a second thought. Forcing his true essence into the weapon, he manifested a Primordial Spirit sword modeled after the discarded blade on the ground, just in time to deflect Lutluo’s bronze ball.
It was a classic case of a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse: among all kinds of weapons, the Primordial Spirit sword was the natural bane of Haituola’s bronze balls, which functioned like magnets, latching onto physical metal.
