Matsuo's Divine Sense was powerful, and he had sensed Zhao Lin's attack long before it was launched. Facing the descending Moon-Cutting Saber, a white light shot from his palm as he let out a low shout, "Water Mirror!"
As his voice fell, water-element Spiritual Qi rapidly converged, gathering into a mirror over half a man's height tall.
The Water Mirror's surface was exceptionally smooth, so reflective one could see their own image, and it emanated a blue-green halo.
The Moon-Cutting Saber flew down to strike, and the Water Mirror reflected an image of the very same saber.
With a muffled THUD, as if a clay ox were sinking into the sea, the force behind the Moon-Cutting Saber was completely neutralized.
Then, an incredible scene unfolded: an ice blade shot out from the Water Mirror, tracing the Moon-Cutting Saber's path back towards Zhao Lin in a flash.
