Bang—
It was another crisp sound.
The small of He Ao's back collided with the sharp blade, but instead of the expected scene of flesh being seared, he used the momentum to roll and charge towards the monkey monster.
What had resisted the blade's edge was quite simple, actually—it was the Miracle Wand He Ao had strapped to his back.
Even though the Miracle Wand was a magic wand, as a B-level Transcendent object, its hardness and toughness were very high. He Ao often used it to swing at people; it was sufficient for temporarily fending off attacks.
Seeing He Ao rush over empty-handed, the monkey monster, though surprised that He Ao wasn't hurt, didn't retreat. Instead, it supported itself with the steel blade that had fallen to the ground with one hand and reached for the bone sword in the air with the other.
It clearly understood that He Ao, without a weapon, hardly had any room to block it.
