For low-level cultivators, who had not yet advanced to the potent Nascent Soul or Yang Spirit stage, the harm was raw and tangible!
Now, at such a close range!
Lin Xiao was left with only two choices!
Either use the Drunken Immortal Watching Moon Step to dodge, betting on the probability of the Wine God Curse activating and consequently dispelling the Sword Qi!
Or...
Summon the Dharma Appearance hidden deep within his Divine Soul in an attempt to withstand this Sword Qi head-on!
Indeed, the nature of the Dharma Appearance is to defend the Divine Soul, a 'phantom' filled with an overwhelming aura. It is the personification of the 'Path' or 'Dharma' that a cultivator has attained up to that point! For example, his Master's Azure Phoenix Dharma Appearance, Zhu Wanning's Asura Dharma Appearance, and the Glaze Treasure Bottle Dharma Form of some Buddhist Holy Sons born with 'Seven Ingenious Glazed Hearts'!
However, Lin Xiao's Dharma Appearance was... an unknown sword!
