It was only a single exchange, but Shangguan Hong saw a lot.
If this place were not Perception Mountain, where her five senses weren't heavily sealed, these people would not stand a chance against her.
But in these circumstances, Shangguan Hong found herself nearly in a desperate plight. As a swordsman, her swordsmanship was everything to her; however, the loss of the five senses had sealed away too many of her techniques. This led to a situation where, despite her being far stronger than these individuals, she was almost indistinguishable from these insects under the seal, struggling to gain an advantage.
It was like the original stats for Shangguan Hong were one thousand, and these people each had one hundred. A thousand crushes one hundred with ease, as expected. But after the weakening of her five senses, Shangguan Hong's stats dropped to one hundred, while these people dropped to twenty. But one hundred cannot crush twenty that easily.
