Gu Hanshan's strike was undoubtedly murderous, not holding back at all, aiming to kill Fang Lin in the shortest time.
Fang Lin cursed under his breath, hurriedly using the Nine Heavens Step Skill, but he was a bit too slow.
First, Fang Lin was caught off guard when he emerged, his mind still on the mysterious woman in the ancient cave.
Second, Gu Hanshan had the advantage of surprise; his attack was swift and preemptive, always one step ahead.
Even with the Nine Heavens Step Skill, it was impossible for Fang Lin to immediately shift from danger to safety within such a short distance and time.
Boom!
Despite his best efforts to evade, Fang Lin was still hit on the shoulder by Gu Hanshan.
Hearing a 'crack' echoing from his shoulder, Fang Lin looked grave. He knew that his bones were probably broken.
However, there was no time to assess his injuries, so he forcefully gritted his teeth and dashed off suddenly.
