Xiang Yu observed the charging cultivator, steadying his stance as he prepared for impact. Despite the enormous power difference between them, he felt a glimmer of confidence. Within this talisman-laden battlefield, the playing field had become somewhat equalized. The Core Formation expert might possess overwhelming strength, but his movement was now severely restricted.
The man approached with fury burning in his eyes, his fist leading the charge—yet Xiang Yu noted how the cultivator moved with heightened caution. Having fallen for Xiang Yu's tricks twice already, the man was clearly determined not to be caught off guard again.
As the powerful fist closed in, Xiang Yu raised his sword to meet it, deliberately channeling lightning qi through the blade to maximize its effectiveness against the man's demonic energy. The collision sent vibrations through both combatants, forcing them to slide backward from the impact.
