"You hit too hard!"
As if to not disappoint the crowd, or to prove his own suspicions, Hong Yan eventually stepped forward and coldly addressed Xiao Chen.
"Didn't you say that the last time you intervened was to help Guo Huaiyi?" Xiao Chen glanced indifferently at Hong Yan.
"The last intervention was meant to help Heaven's Path Sect get through this difficulty!" Hong Yan said, "So my task is not yet complete."
On hearing this, Xiao Chen said, "You're not from the Heaven's Path Sect, I advise you not to wade into these troubled waters!"
"What if I insisted on stopping you?" Hong Yan said impassively.
"Ha!" Xiao Chen let out a terse laugh, "Can you even stop me?"
"I think I can give it a try!"
Hong Yan's tone turned grave as his figure shifted sideways, traversing the bounds of time and space to appear in front of Xiao Chen, and sent a lightning-quick palm strike towards him.
Xiao Chen looked composed and raised his palm to meet him.
