PENG! CRACK!
A barrier appeared before Dreame's back, seeming to block Ryu's strike of lightning for just a moment. But, just as quickly as the needle of blue was stopped, it shattered the barrier.
Tybalt's eyes widened. He knew well how strong that barrier was, it shouldn't have been possible for a Path Extinction Realm expert to shatter it like that.
The needle continued onward like a bolt of lightning, piercing through Dreame's shoulder blade.
It was a simple wound, the kind that a cultivator should have been easily able to shrug off. And yet, Dreame's body convulsed, the entire right side of his body imploding into a rain of blood and flesh.
He crashed into the ground, his face skidding along the snow which quickly gained a pink then crimson hue.
"That's twice now," Ryu said lightly.
