Xuan Zi's body traced an arc through the air, flying dozens of meters before slamming heavily into the ground. He rolled several more times, carving out a long furrow.
Dust filled the air.
Ning Tian's eyes widened instantly, her face full of shock. Meng Hongchen instinctively glanced at the Heavenly Demon Puppet, clearly not having expected it to be so terrifying. A hint of longing appeared in Wu Feng's eyes.
A single palm strike had instantly defeated Xuan Zi, a Sea God Pavilion Elder with the cultivation of a Super Douluo!
Xuan Zi, lying on the ground, wore an equally incredulous expression. He clearly hadn't expected his opponent to crush him into the ground through physical strength alone.
Even a Soul Beast with two or three hundred thousand years of cultivation could never have completely overpowered him in strength!
How was this any different from a humanoid ferocious beast?
He raised his head and looked at the Heavenly Demon Puppet in the distance, still standing exactly where it had been without having budged an inch.
Its hollow golden eyes showed no emotion, and it didn't even seem inclined to pursue him.
It simply stood there like a statue.
But now, in Xuan Zi's eyes, that statue was more terrifying than any ferocious beast.
Watching Xuan Zi lie motionless on the ground for so long, Aoyao couldn't help clicking his tongue.
Wait... had that slap shattered Xuan Zi's resolve?
Surely... it couldn't have, right?
After all, Xuan Zi had always been pretty thick-skinned. Though he lost battle after battle against top-tier opponents, his resolve had never shattered before.
Xuan Zi silently assessed his injuries and finally climbed to his feet. When he looked at the Heavenly Demon Puppet and Aoyao again, there was considerably more wariness in his eyes.
