Guo Nanxing did not reply, but let out a low shout, activating his Blood Essence Skill. In an instant, a blood-red great hand shot out from the top of his head, standing poised at the entrance.
Moments later, shadows flickered within the doorway—Zhang Yan had arrived. Guo Nanxing let out a yell, sending the blood-red hand hurtling toward Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan had already anticipated resistance and remained calm. He summoned his Xuanhuang Great Hand and collided with the incoming attack.
As a Third Realm Hua Dan Cultivator, Guo Nanxing's cultivation surpassed Zhang Yan's. The blood-red hand, refined and pure, surged with considerable power as it met Zhang Yan's defense head-on. With a sharp ripping sound, half of the Xuanhuang Great Hand was torn away. Yellow mist exploded across the sky, but Guo Nanxing too was knocked backward by the recoil force, letting out a grunt. Although unhurt, he was forced to retreat.
