She'd been doing so well - he'd thought that last strike was one she could catch. He could see as he connected, that her position wasn't quite right - but it was too late for him to pull back the strike.
He does still immediately pull his sword back, keeping it well away from Shu while she's undefended. At the same time, with his free hand - his left - he reaches up, and pushes the shield, tapping it away in mid-air so it won't hit her.
