This strike was a martial art Xiang Yang had comprehended from both blade techniques and finger techniques, perfectly fusing the dexterity of finger force with the sharpness of blade qi. Moreover, each of his five fingers drove forth a different kind of blade qi, linked together in endless circulation and seamless flow, carrying the immense might of a palm supporting an entire mountain of blades.
When this move was unleashed, others could describe it with only two words: strong and fierce.
In this siege, Hu Tao possessed the ability to assassinate, and posed an enormous threat to Xiang Yang.
Yet in terms of raw strength, he was not particularly formidable. Among the six Celestials, he ranked at the very bottom.
Once his tracks had been seen through, and his movement technique could no longer make him a mayfly drifting between heaven and earth, leaving no trace behind, then in a one-on-one fight against a powerhouse like Xiang Yang, he would find it difficult even to fight back.
Just as now, Xiang Yang had broken his escape art and movement technique in an instant. Even while enduring Fan Zeng's strike and suffering injury, he still intended to kill Hu Tao. Whether in strength or momentum, he filled Hu Tao with dread.
However, with life and death hanging in the balance, Hu Tao knew that fear would only make him die faster. He might as well gamble everything on one desperate attempt.
Thus, he gathered his true qi and roused every ounce of strength in his body, striking three consecutive palm blows at the heart of Xiang Yang, who pounced upon him like a tiger and wolf. The Threefold Yang Pass merged the palm forces into a threadlike, yin-soft current of qi that twisted forward, in the hope of blocking the attack.
