Before Ling Chen could devise a counter-strategy, Xu Chao attacked again. A giant golden fist shot toward Ling Chen's face.
This punch was even stronger than the last.
The fierce wind from the fist stung Ling Chen's cheeks, feeling as if his skin was about to be torn open.
With agile footwork, Ling Chen utilized his Wind Shadow Step to its utmost limit. Xu Chao's fist blasted right through Ling Chen's body.
However, what shattered was merely Ling Chen's True Qi doppelgänger. Taking advantage of Xu Chao's momentary surprise, Ling Chen's body sank lower as he thrust his sword toward Xu Chao's chest.
"What?"
Ling Chen's move was as swift as a bolt of lightning, an utterly unexpected strike. In a mere instant, his sword pierced Xu Chao's clothes and bit into his flesh.
Xu Chao's expression darkened. Thanks to years of drinking Exotic Beast blood, his reactions were incredibly swift, allowing him to pull back violently the moment Ling Chen's sword thrust out.
