Chapter 525

Protector Zhang’s strength was not to be underestimated; he was, after all, a powerhouse at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. The force of their collision left the web between Xiao Yang’s thumb and forefinger tingling. In close-quarters combat, dozens of exchanges took place in the blink of an eye. Their true qi rippled outward in concentric circles. Xiao Yang’s fighting spirit was soaring, and he actually managed to keep Protector Zhang on the defensive. Having suffered heavy prior injuries, Protector Zhang had no room to retaliate and was clearly losing ground. At the same time, Xiao Yang kept launching spiritual attacks, leaving Protector Zhang overwhelmed and exhausted. Before long, several new wounds appeared on his body, blood weeping from them steadily. The shockwaves from their battle thundered toward the onlookers. Lin Yufei and the others retreated again and again, putting distance between themselves and the center of the fight. Gongsun Yu’s expression grew increasingly somber, his knuckles white as he clenched his fists; he looked at Xiao Yang as if looking at a dead man.
