The more it was at a time like this, the less he could afford to panic. Hodan's thoughts raced, and in almost an instant, a way to break the deadlock came to mind.
Hodan swiftly moved his left hand behind his head. With a flash of light, a Highgod Godhead appeared in his hand to meet the violent attack. At the same time, he lowered his head. This was no time to worry about dignity.
"Boom!" The attack was so violent, so bizarrely fast, that the moment Hodan's Godhead appeared in his hand, the dagger struck it with a deafening crash.
A Highgod Godhead was incredibly tough. Even a Paragon would need to spend a great deal of effort to destroy one. This strike did not shatter the Godhead.
However, the violent radiance blasted Hodan's hand apart as he held the Godhead. The Godhead itself was sent flying, blasting a huge crater into the distant ground.
Fortunately, after being blocked by the Godhead, the black figure's killing blow was avoided when Hodan lowered his head.
Good chance! Hodan's eyes lit up.
To ensure this strike killed, the black figure had used his full strength. This was precisely the moment when his old force had been spent and his new force had yet to arise.
Moreover, because his attack had struck the hard Highgod Godhead, the recoil caused his body to pause for an instant.
Hodan immediately twisted his waist, gripped his blade in his right hand, poured Sovereign's Might into it with all his strength, and unleashed Zhengdu's sharp edge in a horizontal sweep at the black figure.
Although the black figure hurriedly retreated after attacking, Hodan's strike was faster.
With a "swish," the black figure was severed into two halves.
"Pfft!" Severely wounded, the black figure spat out blood.
