The slash looked impressive, but there was no special trick to it. It was nothing but brute force.
His sword struck the overturned yellow bowl, and he distinctly felt a surge of air spilling outward.
But the defensive strength of the innate Wutu Qi was almost unbelievable. Even this second slash at such close range failed to shatter the formation, opening only a small crack.
The force was so great that Lu Feng nearly lost his grip on the Rusty Sword and dropped it, yet he heard nothing at all, as though even sound had been petrified by the innate Wutu Qi.
Lu Feng's slash stimulated the formation again, and the innate Wutu Qi spread even more fiercely. But the green light emitted by the Green Lotus Treasure Banner also grew more dazzling, forcibly pinning the innate Wutu Qi in place so it could not move.
