Patriarch Mudan and the elders were affected by the force of the sonic boom and were pushed back as well. Mudan was still able to handle himself but the elders couldn't do the same and ended up crashing into the trees nearby breaking them.
The ones who were lightly injured simply spat out blood while the others had broken bones and were directly knocked out.
Mudan stabbed his sword into the ground and stopped himself from flying back more. Even though he could fly on his own without the support of a spirit weapon, the force was still too much. It was as if there was more than just Air that had caused such an effect.
Mudan looked in the direction in which Little Shrubby had gone, but couldn't see it anywhere.
"YOU CAN'T RUN FOREVER!" Mudan yelled while flying after them.
