Bai Pu truly had not expected Prince Gordon to possess such a desperate counterattack technique.
The energy beam erupting from the dark-gold gauntlet smashed through Bai Pu's Mountain Sea Shield like rotten wood. The shield's three thousand-plus points of shield energy were instantly depleted.
At the same time, Bai Pu felt a powerful thrust and staggered backward several steps.
Being able to pierce the Mountain Sea Shield meant that Prince Gordon's attack had dealt Bai Pu 3,478 points of actual damage.
Considering Bai Pu's formidable damage reduction, the theoretical damage of that attack was likely no less than twenty thousand, with additional domineering effects such as breaking qi and shattering shields.
However, Bai Pu reacted just as quickly.
He knew that when an enemy's offense was at its strongest, their defense was at its weakest. With all their Class Energy committed to attacking, the energy available to protect their body at the same time would naturally be extremely limited.
The possibility of Prince Gordon suddenly unleashing a powerful attack had always been part of Bai Pu's contingency plans. Counterattacking when his opponent unleashed a major move was one of Bai Pu's battle plans.
Bai Pu had originally intended to retaliate with the Mountain Sea Shield's "artillery bombardment" effect, but he had not expected the shield to be pierced outright. Prince Gordon's counterattack was simply too fierce.
But artillery bombardment was not Bai Pu's only means of instant burst damage.
The instant Bai Pu staggered backward, countless fine cracks appeared across his body, splitting apart like porcelain as a layer of Sand Armor shattered.
Countless grains of sand flew from Bai Pu's body, forming a massive, mottled, jagged sand spear in midair!
Demon Refining Sand, shapeshifting attack.
In the gap between Prince Gordon's exhausted old strength and the birth of new
