Su Ming gauged the level of his opponent's power.
The peak Great Emperor realm.
It still fell well short of the Shadow Will's projection.
But its strength lay in its immense power and solid foundation.
It was more than a whole tier above the likes of Mystic Bone.
As the second wave of attacks descended,
cracks in the barrier had already spread across almost half the city wall.
Su Ming finally moved.
"Keep the formation steady."
He spoke calmly.
His voice was composed, yet carried a reassuring strength.
As his words fell,

Fist and claw collided.
A soundless shock wave spread outward.
Even the surrounding space
