The Secondary Invincibility Shield protected Su Xiao within it. A flash of blade-light passed, and Su Xiao vanished from where he stood.

Su Xiao crashed into the shopping mall beside the street. He first smashed through the mall's outer wall, then flew inside at high speed. After knocking down dozens of rows of shelves, he was buried beneath a pile of colorful clothes.
Climbing out of the clothes, blood dripped from the corner of Su Xiao's mouth. His internal organs seemed to have shifted out of place. He could only vaguely sense the pain, with numbness taking up most of the sensation.
