While others threw their punches straight, Ning Cheng's punch swung out like a huge, deadly axe chopping down, bursting with killing intent. This wasn't just a punch, it was almost like an axe cleaving through. The punch-axe scattered Xun Shun's meager killing intent and, without losing a hint of momentum, continued to fall.
With a muffled "thud," Ning Cheng's fist directly blasted apart Xun Shun's palm.
Xun Shun, having never taken Ning Cheng, a mere Qi Gathering cultivator, seriously, had not used his full strength in his palm strike. In his view, that one palm was enough to knock all of Ning Cheng's teeth out. However, he didn't expect Ning Cheng to strike with such formidable momentum that by the time he wanted to gather more True Yuan, it was too late, and he was forced to retreat.
Ning Cheng saw right through Xun Shun's intentions. After blasting him away with the axe-punch, he followed up with a kick while Xun Shun was still retreating.
