Bang!
Before the shock wave arrived, the gale already cut across his face like a blade.
The artificial hill behind Lu Chen exploded under the terrifying aftershock of the palm strike. Shattered rocks shot in every direction like bullets, smacking against the surrounding walls.
This was the power of a Meridian Connecting Realm expert!
Internal energy unleashed beyond the body, wounding people from a distance!
Unlike Viscera Refining Realm experts, who still needed physical contact to unleash their strength, Meridian Connecting Realm experts had already opened the bridge between Heaven and Earth. Their internal energy could take tangible form outside the body, making their attacks more than twice as powerful!
"Retreat!"
Lu Chen's pupils contracted. Without a moment's hesitation, he kicked off the ground and shot backward like a roc spreading its wings.
Yet the gray-robed elder's palm force clung to him like a bone-deep parasite, sealing off every avenue of escape.
"Trying to run? Too late!"
The gray-robed elder scoffed, changing his palm into a claw and grabbing at empty space.
"Dragon Grasping Hand!"
A tremendous suction force sprang into being. Lu Chen felt as though he'd fallen into a swamp, his movements slowing in an instant.
"Break!"
At this life-or-death moment, Lu Chen held nothing back.
He roared as his viscera shuddered violently, and his Bone Refining Realm great-completion blood and qi erupted like a volcano.
"Profound Nether Hand!"
Lu Chen's palms turned as black as ink. An intensely frigid aura surged from them as he struck hard against the suction force.
Boom!
The two forces collided in midair, releasing a muffled blast.
Though Lu Chen's Profound Nether Cold Qi was of extremely high quality, the absolute gap in power still left him struggling to withstand it.
Pfft!
Lu Chen felt an irresistible force slam into his chest.
