The bandit leader's furious palm strike came hurtling at him on a gale of force. Li Xiao's pupils shrank sharply. With no time to think, his body instinctively rolled hard to the side!
Boom!
With a dull crash, the bandit leader's palm struck solidly beside where Li Xiao had been standing moments before.
The tree, as thick as a bowl's rim, snapped at the blow. Wood chips sprayed from the break, showing just how savage the force behind it had been!
Using the momentum of his roll, Li Xiao sprang swiftly to his feet, a cold sweat already coating his back.

When his attack missed and he saw Li Xiao unharmed, the bandit leader flew into an even greater rage.
Just as he was about to pounce again, he caught sight of Zhou Kun chasing after him like a shadow from the corner of his eye. The wind of Zhou Kun's fist tore through the air as it drove straight for his back. His heart tightened. He knew that if he lingered in battle now, he would surely suffer grave injuries.
"Retreat!"
The bandit leader made his decision without hesitation. Disregarding everything else, he spun around and bolted deeper into the Dense Forest, actually abandoning his subordinates to flee.
"Where do you think you're going?!"
Zhou Kun roared. How could he let him escape?
He drove off the ground, accelerating even further. Catching up behind the bandit leader, he gathered all his Internal Force into a fist and smashed it down viciously!
The bandit leader was fleeing at full speed and had no time to turn around and block. He could only twist his body awkwardly,
