His Magical Power erupted. Unleashing the Spirit Crane Body Technique with all his might, he pushed off the ground. As if weightless, his body shot diagonally into a dense thicket to his right.
But his opponent was astonishingly fast as well.

A deep, yet piercing, gunshot shattered the silence of the mountain forest.

A soft, muffled thud sounded.
Yang Qi felt something slam into his waist. The impact was powerful, but it hadn't broken through.
The Body Protection Talisman he always wore had passively activated!
The Protective Energy had formed a thin but durable barrier, deflecting the fatal blow.
Yang Qi used the momentum to dive into the thicket, curling his body into a ball. At the same time, he activated the Basic Spirit Communication Technique and issued a command.
