Severin's fist landed on the protective shield in front of Shyam, and a dazzling burst of light erupted. The impact pushed Shyam several feet backward.
Shyam, being a supreme saint, reacted swiftly. He raised his hand without much ado and summoned a long sword that had a frost-like cold gleam. He then slashed in Severin's direction, and the speed of his attack was so quick that a sharp whistling sound was produced. The sword emitted a slew of cold air, and it was so cold that it could even freeze the very void itself.
"You're bound to lose." Shyam proclaimed with a fierce smile. "Consider it an honor to be defeated by my Black Ice Sword!"
Although his Black Ice Sword was a low-rank spiritual treasure, Shyam had enhanced its lethality by infusing it with ten thousand years' worth of black ice. It was strong enough to rival that of a mid-grade spiritual treasure. Furthermore, the sword harmonized perfectly with Shyam's skills, allowing him to unleash two hundred percent of his maximum combat power.
Confident in his abilities, Shyam was undaunted even if Severin possessed a similar level of attainment. After all, Severin had only been in seclusion for a little over two months, and he was likely a level two or level three supreme saint. Launching a sneak attack on Severin would undoubtedly result in a severe injury.
That confidence was why Shyam dared to challenge Severin. Breaking through to level four supreme saint within two months was unheard of, even for someone with a divine constitution. However, as Shyam's icy sword energy approached Severin's body, Severin calmly reached out and caught the sword light with his fingers.
"Impossible!" Shyam exclaimed as his eyes widened in disbelief. Severin had effortlessly intercepted an attack that even a level five supreme saint would not dare to underestimate.
"Shatter," Severin said calmly, and the cold-infused sword light shattered into several pieces with a resounding bang. Severin's physical strength was comparable to that of a dragon, and he could easily deal with the flying sword fragments.
