Speaking of operations, Xiaoyao Jian's skills obviously cannot be compared with that of Dao Mei, even falling somewhat short of Ye Weiming's.
However, his Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms carry a high tier that grants considerable attack power and range, presenting no obvious weakness to exploit.
With the imminent merging of the Twin Swords, in the face of such a ferocious palm strike, Hou Tonghai was forced to make a very difficult decision.
Either he would turn around and take Xiaoyao Sigh's Dragon Palm head-on, only to be ruthlessly attacked by Ye Weiming and Xiao Qiao close behind him.
Or, he would ignore Xiaoyao Sigh's Dragon Palm, taking the hit due to his large HP while attacking the weakness of the Twin Swords.
