Facing this palm strike, which was aimed at his heart, Bai Yunfei suddenly took half a step backwards and clenched his right fist. Blue veins popped out of his arm and he struck a blow!
Overlapping Waves Art, Ninefold Fist Force!!
However, the moment Bai Yunfei threw this punch, which he had been planning for a long time, in front of him, Zhang Zhenshan’s eyes flashed with a trace of derision!
Just before the fist and the palm could collide with each other, when they were a very short distance apart, this palm suddenly turned into two palms, then four palms, which were respectively aimed at Bai Yunfei’s two shoulders, heart and face!
Under the astounded look in Bai Yunfei’s eyes, the palm strike aimed at his heart and his fist came into contact. But his right fist went straight through this palm — it was an afterimage!
Facing the palm strike aimed at his face, Bai Yunfei had no choice but to lean his head to one side hurriedly. Half of this palm then went past his face — this was also an afterimage!
Before he could have another reaction, an inconceivably great force already hit his left shoulder — only this palm strike was real!
What shocked him even more was that, as this palm strike came into contact with him, in addition to that enormous force of impact, there was also an even more formidable chill rushing into his body. When this chill entered his body, Bai Yunfei even felt that his soul was frozen for a moment!
All of this sounds complicated but in fact it happened and ended in the blink of an eye. Bai Yunfei’s right hand was even still maintaining its forward striking position, but his entire body was sent flying backwards like a disconnected kite, almost creating a blur.
“Humph! Ignorant kid! You think you can fool me just because you’re a little smart? Don’t overestimate yourself!” The derision in Zhang Zhenshan’s eyes intensified. Just when he wanted to lift his feet to give chase, he suddenly stood still, the expression on his face stiffening then turning into one of disbelief.
This was because while in midair after being sent flying, when Bai Yunfei was about to fall to the ground, he did a flip and landed feet first on the ground. Only after bending his knees to a half-crouch position with his hands placed against the ground and sliding backwards three or four meters was he able to stop.
As Bai Yunfei raised his head looking at a totally astounded Zhang Zhenshan in front of him, a streak of blood flowed out from a corner of his mouth. He had an urge to spout a mouthful of blood but he suppressed it forcefully.
“I misjudged it… Am I still really too naive? He’s a Soul Sprite and the head of the Zhang family with so much combat experience. How could it have been so easy for me to trick him?… In the end I was tricked by him instead. If not for his attack being inclined towards the centerline of my body and hitting a place that happened to be within the defensive range of the Goldsilk Soul Armor, my shoulder could have been crippled…
“Under the defense of the +10 upgraded Goldsilk Soul Armor, I was still injured so seriously. Plus, the most fearsome thing was that chill. If not for the defense of the Goldsilk Soul Armor giving me a small gap of time to channel my soulforce to resist it, it would probably have gone into my body by now. Then, even if I wouldn’t have been frozen all over, my movement speed would have dropped sharply!
“This is the power of the Soul Warrior stage? The power of elemental control…”
Now Bai Yunfei had already stood up. He wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth and took out the Fire-tipped Spear again then stared hard at Zhang Zhenshan in front of him. Zhang Zhenshan watched all of this with a lingering astonished and doubtful expression.
“How is this even possible?! After taking that palm strike of mine, it unexpectedly seems he’s just slightly injured! Even though I’m not in my best condition, a Soul Warrior shouldn’t have been able to withstand the force of a palm strike from a Soul Sprite like me so easily!
“Right! He’s wearing Han Xiao’s Goldsilk Soul Armor on his body! But that armor is merely a low human-tier soul item, how can it have such a high defense? Could it be… the amount of power I can use at the moment is even lower than I thought?”
Both men had their own thoughts and seemed to be considering countermeasures. For a short period of time, the situation unexpectedly turned into a deadlock.
Bai Yunfei did his utmost to channel his soulforce to disperse that trace of coldness in his body. At the same time, he cast a glance at the Fire-tipped Spear in his hands in an unnoticeable manner, his eyes flashing.
“I didn’t expect to be able to draw the scorching heat in the Fire-tipped Spear into my body! Just now, to disperse that trace of coldness in my body as quickly as possible, I subconsciously tried doing this and was unexpectedly successful!! But I was unable to discover this earlier… In that is the
