"Master of Swords!"
Seeing his sword blocked by the black Ghost Shield, Zhao Fu shouted. The Imperial Killing Sword erupted with an incomparably intense sword intent, transforming into a raging storm of sword qi that bombarded the black Ghost Shield.

A crisp sound rang out. The Contract Beast's expression changed as fine cracks began spreading across the black Ghost Shield it had summoned beneath the bombardment of the sword-qi storm. Sword qi then poured into those cracks, widening them further and further.
