With a sudden roll forward, Xu Qing propped himself up using his hands, and as he did so, he gathered all his leg strength and delivered a powerful kick to the black-clothed guard's chest.
The turtle shell shone as it made contact with Xu Qing, and it caved in before shattering. Despite this, it was able to hold up against the attack. However, the force of Xu Qing's strike was too powerful, and it caused the black-clothed guard's body to be lifted off the ground slightly. The black threads emanating from his forehead also became slightly disordered.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Qing also leaped into the air and closed the distance again. The dagger in his hand flashed with a cold light as he stabbed at the depression in the turtle shell. Coupled with the power of the shroud cloth, he ignored the defense and directly penetrated it.
The black-clothed guard let out a mournful cry. The instant Xu Qing stabbed the dagger in, he moved it upward.
