Just as Chen Nang provocatively slashed his face with a sword, the Butcher seized the opportunity. In the instant when Chen Nang hadn't had time to retreat, he raised his left foot and stomped heavily on the ground.
As his foot hit the ground, an invisible force exploded outwardly from the focal point he created, causing a ripple across the earth. Chen Nang's smooth movements abruptly stuttered. Though it was only for a moment, it was enough for the Butcher, who had been waiting for just such an opportunity.
This move also surprised everyone present. Butterfly Lady and Sick Ghost had peculiar expressions; they hadn't expected the Butcher to have been hiding such a trick up his sleeve.
They assumed the Butcher only had the Bone-cutting Saber and the Rubber Coat as Magic Artifacts. They didn't expect that his dirty shoe was also a Magic Artifact.
"Interesting," Ku Daoist said, slipping his hands into his sleeves, and watched with narrowed eyes.
