Wu Fa's current predicament was due to the same reason. When the man in black engaged Wu Fa, he had already begun continuously infusing energy into his Treasure Sword. Because the energy flow was extremely covert, Wu Fa only detected a part of it. The other part was secretly gathering within the Treasure Sword until it reached a point of immense power.
Even if Wu Fa hadn't unleashed such domineering cultivation technique twice in succession, the man in black would likely have attacked him. Due to the restrained power, Wu Fa could easily overlook the hidden killing intent within the blade, giving the opponent a chance to strike.
By then, it wouldn't be just about how much Inner Strength had been wasted, but even if a lot of Inner Strength was released to defend, it might still be too late.
As the two separated, a blinding wave of yellow sand swept around them. In the vast Desert, a trail of dust rose up.
