In the nick of time, Hong Lei's instincts as a battle-hardened Martial Artist saved his life.
Sensing the murderous intent surging from behind, he roared, spun around, and crossed his arms to shield the vital points on his chest!
"BOOM!"
A savagely powerful Ming Jin detonated where his arms met!
The deafening sonic boom reverberated wildly through the dark forest, and the ferocious shockwave instantly snapped several thick iron hemlock trees at their trunks!
Several crows roosting on distant branches shrieked in alarm, "CAW! CAW!", and frantically beat their wings to escape.
Although Su Yu's punch was incredibly powerful, Hong Lei's Qi and Blood was ultimately far superior. Even though he could only mobilize a fraction of it, he still managed to block the strike.
Hong Lei cried out in pain. Using the force of the recoil, he was thrown back dozens of yards, scrambling to put distance between himself and Su Yu.
"COUGH, COUGH... HAHAHAHA!"
