However, Elder Xue had underestimated Shen Haoran's reaction speed and combat instincts. As Elder Yan's disciple, Shen Haoran's reflexes and battle sense had been drilled into his very marrow under Elder Yan's practically inhuman training. Furthermore, Shen Haoran cultivated the Nine Heavens Shocking Cloud Step. In terms of speed, Elder Xue was simply no match for him!
Shen Haoran completely ignored the whistling cane. Sinking low, he shot a lightning-fast fist toward Elder Xue's chest. Because Elder Xue was swinging his cane horizontally, his face was exposed for a split second, and Shen Haoran seized that very instant to strike!
THUD...
With a muffled thud, Shen Haoran's fist landed on Elder Xue's chest before the cane could even touch him. A terrifying force erupted instantly, knocking the Elder back. The residual Powerful Qi sent his feet scraping across the ground for several meters, and he only came to a halt after snapping a towering ancient tree behind him in two.
