Personally Entering the Fray

Wang Bo'an's face was livid. He gently laid Wang Xiao on the bed, then turned around. A powerful aura burst from him.

"You wretch! You're at death's door, yet you still dare act so arrogantly in front of me!"

He took a single step, his figure flashing like lightning. In an instant, he appeared in the courtyard, standing in front of everyone.

Though his True Qi was nearly spent, at that moment he stood like an immovable mountain, shielding the terrified members of his clan behind him.

"Kill... kill... you..."

Xiong Kui's mind was clearly in disarray. He could only repeat the simplest obsession, one born of instinct.

"You think you can do that in this state?"

Wang Bo'an's gaze sharpened. He decided to end this quickly.

He couldn't afford to delay any longer. Wang Xiao's leg injury couldn't wait, and he wouldn't be able to hold out much longer himself.

"Thunderclap Palm!"

Wang Bo'an gave a low shout. The pale green True Qi around his right palm instantly turned violent, faint sparks of lightning flickering as it crackled softly.

This was one of his signature techniques. Its palm force was fierce and domineering, capable of breaking through anything.

His figure blurred, leaving a string of afterimages as he struck straight at the hole in Xiong Kui's chest, where black energy billowed.

He could see it clearly: that was the source of the evil energy, and it had to be the monster's weak point!

Yet faced with this thunderous palm strike, Xiong Kui neither dodged nor retreated. Instead, he bared his teeth in a savage, crazed grin.

He raised the claw that no longer resembled a human hand and met the attack head-on, without any fancy moves.

"BANG—!!!"

Palm and claw collided, but the sound was not the dull thud
