Xiang Yang showed no disappointment when his strike missed. Instead, Chu Sai'en's intervention stirred a measure of interest in him.
In terms of sheer power, even a Celestial Being would have found it difficult to receive his Jade Breaking Gold Splitting finger strike head-on. Yet it had only barely torn Chu Sai'en's outer flesh. Chu Sai'en's external cultivation surpassed even Hu Yulu's.
