The sword stroke that Gu Yang executed was the second move of Zhanxuan Swordsmanship—Godslayer.
His idea was simple. By killing the old man who summoned this ghastly entity, he might be able to resolve the current crisis.
He has encountered numerous perilous enemies and faced countless desperate situations. His strength was cultivated step by step with the simulator, which enabled him to conquer all enemies under his sword.
However, for the first time, he faced an adversary in reality that he had no way to defeat.
The power contained in the dean's sword stroke was not inferior to his own. However, it did not harm the shadow creature in the slightest.
If he were to counter, the outcome would likely be the same.
He had never previously felt this sense of impotence of being unable to harm his opponent.
It was exactly this brutal crisis that unleashed a before-unseen strength in him, culminating in the most powerful sword stroke he had ever delivered.
