Side Effects of Using the Nascent Sword Soul

Seeing the large claws once again descending towards him, Xuan Hao grabbed the hilt of his nascent sword soul and slashed up towards the incoming claws-

Swish-!

And without any suspense or terrifying clash, the nascent sword soul smoothly cut through the claws of the illusory dragon before continuing forward with a seemingly unstoppable momentum. Almost like the claws had never even existed in the first place.

Roar!?

Caught off guard by the terrifying nascent sword soul that had just cut through its claws with seemingly no effort, the illusory dragon acted in instinct as it felt a threat to its life-

Swoosh-!

Dodging the nascent sword soul before rapidly retreating far away from Xuan Hao where it began to examine him in far more detail compared to the first time when it had discovered that he had been cable of defending against its claw attacks.
