'An expert!'
Xu Yang's scalp went numb, and the pores all over his body instantly tightened.
He was already on guard, but he never expected the man before him to be an expert—at least at the Qi Gathering Cultivation level.
He didn't know if this was a chance encounter or if the man had been lying in wait to ambush him.
A fierce wind rushed at his face. The man's five fingers were like an eagle's talons, his nails sharp and pointed. If they latched on, they would tear five bloody holes in his neck.
In that split second, the major tendons all over his body tensed, and his bones let out a series of crisp CRACKLES.
The instant the five fingers were about to seize his neck, he deliberately offered one of his hands, allowing the man to grab it to avoid having his throat torn out.
Simultaneously, his other arm swung out with savage force. Like the swipe of a bear king's paw, his muscles bulged as he threw a punch toward the man's armpit.
