CHAPTER 1072: CHAPTER 1072: SENT FLYING WITH A SINGLE PALM

After making his decision, Long Qie swiftly moved sideways, mobilizing all the power within his body in an instant, and thus his speed was like lightning.

Boom!

Huo Yijian’s sword heavily struck the ground, but almost grazed Long Qie’s side, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

Truly terrifying!

Worthy of being a Peak Grandmaster, a sword like that would have cleaved him in two had it struck him.

Boom! Boom!

The earth rumbled continuously. Huo Yijian’s sword directly created a massive crack on the ground.

"Humph, so you dodged it. It seems your body is quite agile. But if you can dodge my first sword, can you dodge my second?"

Huo Yijian sneered, and with a flick of his wrist, the long sword instantly transformed into countless sword shadows.

The sword shadows were incredibly terrifying, and the moment they appeared, they blanketed the area, pressing down on Long Qie from all sides, leaving no gaps.

"Damn."

Long Qie’s face changed; at this moment, he felt a deep sense of crisis.

This move was different from the last; it was a wide-range attack. With such a massive attack area, he couldn’t possibly escape it in such a short amount of time with his speed.

Obviously, Huo Yijian had keenly detected his flaw and made the appropriate move.

A Peak Grandmaster is indeed terrifying; even without much battle experience, he can still make terrifying attacks using sheer intelligence.

In that instant, hundreds of thoughts flashed through Long Qie’s mind.

He knew that if he couldn’t come up with a solution, he would die under Huo Yijian’s sword.

"Ah!"

Long Qie let out a long roar, his entire body surged with Gang Qi, and his eyes showed a cold resolve; he actually dared to cease dodging.

"If I can’t dodge, then I’ll face it head-on!"

Long Qie thought coldly.

In a confrontation between brave warriors, the bolder one wins.

Long Qie’s fist, at this moment, shone like the sun, emitting an incredibly frightening aura from his body.

He shot out like a cannonball, instantly launching an attack towards Huo Yijian, tearing through the air with a harsh sound.

This attack was almost reckless.

Because on Long Qie’s path of attack, Huo Yijian’s long sword was already descending. If he continued the assault, parts of his body would be shredded by Huo Yijian.

Yet he still pressed on undeterred.

This was a tactic of mutual destruction!

Huo Yijian’s face dramatically changed, shouting angrily, "Are you insane?!"

He was infuriated, not expecting Long Qie to be so reckless.

At this moment, a fierce look flashed in Huo Yijian’s eyes as he wanted to use his swordsmanship to strike Long Qie down. But seeing Long Qie’s fist approaching, an overwhelming sense of fear welled up within him.

If he continued attacking Long Qie, that fist would hit him. Though Long Qie was only an Early Stage Grandmaster, this punch had all his strength behind it, and he definitely couldn’t withstand it!

"Damn it."

Huo Yijian cursed, ultimately letting his fear take control. As the sword was about to reach Long Qie, he swiftly retracted it, blocking it in front of himself for defense.

Long Qie laughed heartily, his fist suddenly changing direction in mid-air and retracting. His body also flew back rapidly.

This exchange ended here, Huo Yijian’s mighty attack completely nullified by Long Qie’s profound combat skills.

However, Long Qie also realized deeply that Huo Yijian’s strength was indeed terrifying.

He had gone all out, risking his life to gain a slight advantage over Huo Yijian, yet feared Huo Yijian hadn’t even used his full strength.

"A Peak Grandmaster is indeed frightening; the difference at this level is fearsome." Long Qie sighed softly.

Then his gaze turned resolute; no matter how unimaginably strong the opponent was, he couldn’t back down.

Just as he was about to step forward, his shoulder was suddenly held down. Long Qie turned back, astonished to find that it was Xiao Zheng who held his shoulder.

"You don’t need to go. Achieving this under the pressure of a Peak Grandmaster’s aura is already enough," Xiao Zheng said with a smile.

Long Qie said anxiously, "Mr. Xiao, I can still fight!"

Xiao Zheng just extended his hand and gave a gentle push, and Long Qie felt a vast yet soft force push against him, gently pushing him away.

Then Xiao Zheng floated delicately in front of Huo Yijian.

Huo Yijian said coldly, "What, realized you can’t win, so you’re switching people, doing a tag team?"

His true disciples behind him sneered in unison.

Xiao Zheng shook his head with a smile, "You really don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth."

Huo Yijian was infuriated, laughing, "Hahaha, you dare say I don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth? It’s been a long time since I’ve heard something so amusing."

Clang!

He suddenly flicked his long sword, the sword vibrating with a clear ring that echoed through the sky, and a burst of Sword Qi almost pierced through the space.

Xiao Zheng, with a faint smile, gently raised his hand, pressing down towards Huo Yijian.

Boom!

In the next moment, the world changed color, and Xiao Zheng’s aura exploded forth, as if transforming into a giant Divine presence.

His palm also pressed down.

In the instant of that press, his palm seemed to traverse space and instantly appeared before Huo Yijian.

Bam!

The palm lightly pressed on Huo Yijian’s chest, and with a terrifying explosion of power, Huo Yijian was sent flying backward.

He crashed heavily into the mountain wall, and the immense force broke his ribs, embedding him into the rock face.

Boom!

The cliff shook violently, echoing with thunderous sound.

All of the true disciples were dumbfounded by this scene. They rubbed their eyes in disbelief, shock etched on their faces.

What is going on?

The Peak Grandmaster Huo Yijian was sent flying with just one palm strike from someone?

Who is this person, so terrifying; could he be a Martial Saint?

They looked at Huo Yijian and saw that after vomiting a mouthful of blood, he had already passed out.

Instantly, a chill ran down everyone’s spine.

Looking at Xiao Zheng, their eyes were filled with immense, indelible fear.

This is just insanely powerful!
