He used all his strength in this palm strike, the wind howling and carrying a scorching, explosive aura—it was one of the Ye family's signature techniques—the Thunder Palm!
He chose a cunning and ruthless time, precisely when Qin Xiao's defenses were at their weakest, and he launched a sneak attack from behind!
"How dare you, you brat!!" Master Qingsheng roared, his eyes blazing with fury, but it was too late to stop him.
Qin Xiao was completely focused on the strange and malevolent creature before him when a strong wind came from behind, and alarm bells rang in his mind! However, all his energy was devoted to dealing with Liu Qingrong's frontal attack, and in his haste, he was unable to completely dodge or block this deadly sneak attack from behind!
In a flash, Qin Xiao gritted his teeth, and a certain power within his body was instantly activated! A very faint, almost invisible golden halo seemed to appear around him.
"Bang—!"
Ye Chen's Thunder Palm landed squarely on Qin Xiao's back!
However, the scene of Qin Xiao's bones breaking and his screaming as he flew out, which was expected, did not actually happen.
In that instant, the faint golden light on Qin Xiao's body suddenly shone brightly! Ye Chen felt as if his fierce palm strike had hit an incredibly tough object with a strange recoil force! A powerful recoil force surged back along his arm!
"Pfft!" Ye Chen felt a powerful force surge towards him, his blood and qi churning. He was shaken and staggered back several steps. A sweet taste rose in his throat, and he spat out a small mouthful of blood. His face was filled with disbelief and horror.
How is this possible?! How could he possibly block it?! And there's even a counter-force?!
But Qin Xiao is not made of iron after all.
Although the mysterious golden light dissipated most of the palm force and reflected some of it back, the remaining power of the [Thunder Palm], mixed with Ye Chen's malicious true energy, still penetrated deeply into Qin Xiao's body.
Qin Xiao felt as if he had been struck hard in the back by a red-hot iron hammer, as if his internal organs had shifted, and a sharp pain instantly swept through his entire body!
"puff--!"
He could no longer suppress the surging blood in his throat and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. The bright red blood drew a dazzling arc in the air and splashed onto the bluestone slab in front of him.
Qin Xiao's body swayed violently, his face turned deathly pale, his hand holding the peach wood sword trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with icy anger and a hint of astonishment.
He slowly turned his head, his cold gaze like a sharp sword, fixed on Ye Chen, who was not far away, also with blood at the corner of his mouth and a face full of horror and resentment.
A sneak attack?!
At this critical juncture, Ye Chen, this so-called "chosen one," actually turned on himself so ruthlessly?!
At the same time, the monstrous Liu Qingrong seemed to pause her attack slightly due to this sudden change. Her dark eyes swept between Qin Xiao and Ye Chen, and an even more eerie and cruel smile appeared on her distorted face.
"Interesting... Really interesting..."
Her voice was like the cry of an owl, filled with an ominous tone.
Qin Xiao was seriously injured, facing the formidable enemy Gui Sha in front of him, and the despicable Ye Chen eyeing him from behind.
The situation instantly became extremely precarious!
