A blow from a Spiritual-Passage Realm master at the pinnacle of the ninth level, even if casually delivered, is still terrifyingly powerful. Like a bursting firecracker, it causes the very air to explode, and even before it nears, it already fills Black Hibiscus and the two others with profound despair.
Jing Xincheng's response is swift. Almost the same instant the elder with the horse-like face makes a move, he responds with a powerful palm strike in the air, shaking the heavens.
However, Shi Xiaole is already locked onto by the elder's martial aura. Despite Jing Xincheng's quick response, he can only watch helplessly as the attack rushes towards Shi Xiaole, powerless to prevent what seems to be an inevitable crippling.
A vision of Shi Xiaole's arm shattering and long screams of pain crowd Jing Xincheng's mind, giving rise to unprecedented killing intent.
Hiss!
