Vitali tried to leap backward, only to realize he could not move his feet. He just realized that Tang Shaoyang stepped on his feet. Then the flurry of fists hit him. The third fist hit his chest, and the fourth hit his stomach again. Each hit he took, weakened him.
He wanted to raise his hands up to block, but he suddenly felt like he had no strength to lift his hands. When he tried to activate the same barrier, his control of his mana was disrupted which destroyed the barrier. This was the first time that he felt this hopeless, not being able to fight back.
The worst was that Tang Shaoyang did not give him a chance to fight back. The pain made him forget how many fists landed on him. All the fists landed on his upper half. Each part of his upper half was punched, and there was no spot that was safe from the fist.
