Bang!
Another palm strike collided, sending Fairy Huo Ling flying back violently. In contrast, Hun Miesheng stood leisurely where he was. If one ignored their actual strength, anyone would think Hun Miesheng's realm was higher.
"Bastard."
Fairy Huo Ling cursed under her breath, feeling unbearably humiliated.
Several hundred years ago, her strength had surpassed Hun Miesheng's, yet she had been forced into a shameful retreat because he had someone ambush her.
And now, her strength still surpassed Hun Miesheng's, yet his so-called Protective Array continued to suppress her, leaving her at a disadvantage.
