It must be said that his reaction speed was quite swift, and his velocity wasn't slow either, at least, faster than the companion he had before him. Perhaps against someone else, he might have had the chance to run away. Unfortunately for him, he wasn't facing someone else, but Xiao Yi, whose speed was nearly unmatched even among his peers at the Initial Tier of Condensation!
Thus, his escape was doomed from the start. No sooner had he bolted than a pain so intense as to seemingly tear his heart and lungs apart flared up from his back, sending his body stumbling forward to collapse onto the concrete floor in a posture resembling a dog's mess, releasing a cry of pain even more exaggerated than that of his companion.
Witnessing the efficiency of Xiao Yi's actions, the bystanders couldn't help but gasp in unison. They truly hadn't expected Xiao Yi to dare to strike these men so decisively and in broad daylight, especially as a car was already speeding their way!
