The force came from the side, and though it was extremely slight, it was enough to make the arrow veer off course a little. When Lu Xiaotian withdrew the Seven-Level Pagoda, the arrow formed from demonic power immediately shifted, missing him by several inches as it skimmed past his temple.

After all, his divine sense could attach itself to a spirit-communicating artifact and control it, but it could not attach itself to a streak of demonic power on its own.
Since the first attack had failed to do anything to Lu Xiaotian, the second naturally stood even less chance. Lu Xiaotian used the same trick again, deflecting the arrow once more. This greatly reduced the amount of magical power he had to expend.
