The Tail-Shedding Shuttle spun merrily at high speed. As Chen Mu grew more proficient at handling it, not only had the time needed to release it decreased considerably, but its sound had gradually become quieter as well. Both showed that his Perception was gaining ever greater control over energy.
But the Tail-Shedding Shuttle still inevitably produced energy fluctuations. Though they were faint, the two were so close that Xiao Man detected them immediately.
He's there!
Almost without hesitation, the fifteen tadpole-shaped energy constructs she had already prepared shot from her hand. They converged into a long line and hurtled toward the source of the energy fluctuations, an abrupt whistling filling the air. Just then, however, a strange, piercing shriek rang out, carrying a powerful tremor. The instant it appeared, it completely drowned out the whistling of the tadpole energy constructs.
Xiao Man was startled but remained composed. She felt considerably more relaxed than before. What frightened her most about her opponent was his concealment in the shadows, where his attacks were impossible to guard against. Though this attack looked incomparably fierce, it exposed his position and effectively stripped away his greatest advantage. In a straightforward battle between Card Adepts, whether a stationary engagement or a running fight, Xiao Man had never known fear.
Pop, pop, pop! A rapid succession of explosive cracks rang out, and Xiao Man's expression suddenly changed!
All fifteen tadpole energy constructs had been destroyed! Each construct had a special connection to her Perception, so she knew the instant they were destroyed. Fifteen energy constructs had failed to impede that Energy Shuttle in the slightest. What horrified her was the overwhelming force with which it smashed through them, like a storm tearing through rotten wood!
She reacted extremely quickly, raising her Energy Shield almost instinctively.
