Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang reached the Trash Bird very quickly again and unleashed another strike.

The Trash Bird threw another clump of earth at Shang's face, which he managed to block this time by closing his eyes for an instant.

Shang felt his sword hit part of the Trash Bird's thigh, but he sadly couldn't hear the satisfying sound of his opponent getting injured this time due to his hearing loss.

The Trash Bird stopped its shouting again and jumped forward, blood flowing down its right leg.

Shang recovered from the strike and shot towards the Trash Bird again. Shang's Mana had been used up healing his left arm, which meant that his hearing wouldn't recover for at least several seconds.

The Trash Bird and Shang reached a small clearing with a twenty-meter-tall and ten-meter-wide rock in the middle of it.

The Trash Bird's steps became uncertain with its injured leg, and it slowed down by a lot.

Then, when it saw the rock in front of it, it realized that fleeing wouldn't work. If everything continued as it had been for the last seconds, it would eventually die.

The Trash Bird suddenly stopped in front of the rock and faced Shang, who was charging at it.

It opened its mouth again and unleashed its soundwave again.

Luckily, Shang was currently deaf, but his mind still shook from the soundwaves.

The Trash Bird lifted its left foot and stabbed forward with it. Its strike was surprisingly fast.

Shang had to cancel his attack since he hadn't known that the Trash Bird's attack would be so fast. He had read about it, but he had actually never fought one.

Instead of striking the Trash Bird's body, he tried to hit the leg.

However, the leg pulled back with just as much speed, and Shang's strike missed.

Then, the Trash Bird jumped forward by using its injured leg.

The Trash Bird didn't just simply pull its leg back into a passive stance but into another aggressive one.

As the Trash Bird jumped forward, it unleashed another stab with its left leg.

Shang's sword was currently lowered, which meant that it wouldn't be able to block.

Well, that would be true if this were the Shang from a year ago.

Out of reflex, Shang took a step back as his entire power was focused on his sword.

And then, he slashed upward with all his power.

BANG!

The Trash Bird pulled its leg back when it saw the sword, but it wasn't fast enough. The front halves of its talons exploded off its foot as the sword hit them.
