Xin Rong was baffled to find Amon's strength nearly matched hers. He was a full one cultivation level below her, not to mention at a lower realm. How could he manifest such strength?
Amon always had a stronger physique than other cultivators. Moreover, he had used the body-strengthening meridian points technique before intercepting Xin Rong's army. His strength now was way above that of a regular Mammoth Stage cultivator.
While Amon's strength surprised Xin Rong, she noticed another detail that shocked her. Amon's weapon, which looked like a broken sword, had its blade sunk a little into the blade of her glaive. She channeled her Overlord energy to protect the glaive. For Amon's weapon to cut into her glaive like this could only mean one thing. Amon's weapon was of a much higher grade than hers.
Her shock diverted her attention, almost causing her not to notice an assault coming from her right.
