With the force of a single rebound, Sangji's body gained an incredible, logic-defying horizontal acceleration, like a leaf caught in a gale, skimming past the edge of the axe blade storm that could cleave through rock, narrowly brushing past.
The massive axe descended with thunderous might, slamming into the ground, sending rocks and dust flying into the sky.
The Northern Barbarian Warrior's massive body involuntarily leaned slightly forward due to the all-out strike, his old strength expended, and new strength yet to emerge.
In that split second, Sangji's figure had already appeared to his rear right, twisting his waist and sending his shoulder, thrusting the longsword straight at his opponent.
In haste, the Northern Barbarian Warrior barely managed to turn, raising his left hand in front of his face, using his flesh and blood to block the thrust.
"Pfft!"
A subtle and peculiar piercing sound echoed, like a hot knife slicing through solidified oil.
