Due to his decision of wanting to intercept Dante at where he was going to crash instead of where the bastard was flying, Zhen Liu was unable to react in time to Dante's actions.
Not that his actions made sense in the first place.
Zhen Liu wasn't entirely sure why Dante had randomly grabbed some poor turtle-like schmuck, but the surge of [Chaos] surrounding them was probably a bad sign.
Either way, Zhen Liu figured that he was probably going to need to use a little more power than necessary to deal with whatever the fuck Dante had planned.
As such, Zhen Liu began to draw power not only from his own [Chaos] cultivation but from Blazejudicator and Nepherage as well, concentrating all of it into the blade head of the latter's [Taboo].
