Sword God in a World of Magic

BANG!

Like it had hit a wall, the snake's head was stopped by the sword. The snake was long, but it wasn't incredibly massive. Its head was barely half a meter across.

Because of that, Shang was able to block the snake's head with his sword.

To paint a clearer picture, one only needed to imagine an attacking dog. The dog bit forward, but the human in front of it took a long stick and held it vertically, pushing it back. Since the dog's head was in its normal position, its mouth couldn't open wide enough to get the entire length of the stick into its mouth. Sure, if the stick were horizontal, it wouldn't be a problem.

Shang's arms shook under the weight, but the snake hadn't put its full power behind its bite. After all, it still had to keep an eye out for the green bird.

Because of that, Shang managed to keep his sword relatively straight.

When the snake's snout hit the blade, it began to bleed. The wound wasn't deep, but it had drawn blood.

BANG!

Shang stepped forward and angled his sword on the snake's head. Then, he struck upward with the handle, making the snake's head fly up. Usually, Shang wouldn't have the power to push the snake away due to the difference in power in their bodies. However, the lever principle applied here.

The snake's head was far extended, essentially putting it out of balance and putting the head far away from its center of mass. Because of that, Shang could shove the head upward.

At the same time, Shang's sword was above him, and with the step he had just taken, his stance was perfect for a devastating strike downward.

Then, Shang struck forward, cutting along the underside of the snake's jaw.

CRRRRRRRR!

Sparks flew, and a couple of scales fell off, but the snake barely bled. Its scales were simply too hard.

Shang gritted his teeth, and the snake's head quickly went back into an attacking position.

The snake bit forward again.

Shang blocked with his sword.
