Ren Baoshun was suffering inside.
After Lu Bai used him as a weapon to smash people, he got to experience that crushing strength up close.
He didn't dare move. Not even a little.
Forget trying to snatch the "Node" from Lu Bai. Ren Baoshun didn't even dare drop his Iron Block state.
He was afraid that the moment he did, Lu Bai would follow up with a slash.
Naturally, he couldn't reply either. He stood there like a statue; only the slight movement of his eyes showed that he was thinking.
"Sigh~"
Lu Bai sighed and suddenly slashed with his sword.

But Ren Baoshun, still maintaining his Iron Block state, was just as unscathed.
At least after taking that slash head-on, Ren Baoshun felt a little more at ease.
With his [Iron Block] ability, he might not be able to beat Lu Bai, but he could at least manage not to lose.
That gave him plenty of room to maneuver.
Lu Bai switched the sword to his other hand and shook his wrist twice, trying to ease the soreness from the impact.

The whole process was so smooth that even Lu Bai was momentarily stunned.
He scratched the back of his head. "Uh, what did you say? I didn't quite catch that."
Ren Baoshun still didn't
