Shyam felt an impending sense of doom. He shielded the True-Sun Fist without much thought, but the radiant sword light soon descended and struck the bronze shield before him with a colossal force.
At that moment, Shyam could only watch in horror as cracks formed all over the shield. The shockwave then caused the shield to shatter, and the fragments shot out in all directions.
Shyam's pupils contracted as he witnessed the scene and felt a bad feeling sinking in. The protective barrier that he cast just moments ago succumbed to the residual power of the sword light. The barrier was torn apart and landed right into his chest.
His artificially enhanced level six supreme saint attainment was extinguished in an instant. The sharp shockwave coursed through Shyam's body, tearing his flesh apart. Within seconds, he was catapulted some distance away like a cannonball, and his trajectory ended only after he crashed into a hill.
A Shyam-sized crater had appeared on the hill. He was severely injured and unconscious.
Severin could only shake his head and say, "You're too weak."
The remaining sword light dissipated, and a cloud of sand billowed around the arena as Severin descended.
The disciples who had been watching the battle were all visibly shocked. After a moment's silence, they all erupted into a chorus of awe.
