As the Dragon of Stars inside him began to tremble, Xu Yi summoned a host of Spirit Weapons. Centered around his head, they formed a streamlined triangular shield.
The moment the triangular shield appeared, it canceled out nearly ninety percent of the terrifying astral gale, yet Xu Yi continued to push his escape speed to the limit.
