With just one punch, the Void God Cult Master felt as though a meteor had struck her. As she flew backward, her bones and sinews crackled explosively, scattering flesh and blood.
Boom!
Everything in the Void God Cult Master's path shattered. The sturdy deck exploded into a rain of splinters, and the stray force swept up several unlucky souls who failed to dodge in time. They screamed as they were torn apart.
The Void God Cult Master smashed straight through a hole more than a dozen zhang long, blasted out over the river in an instant.
Before she could fall, a streak of clear light flashed above her, and a foot stamped down.
Dense blood energy poured from the Void God Cult Master's body, condensing into substance and covering her like an enormous inverted bell.
Hong Yuan's foot collided with the bell. An immense roar erupted, like a thunderbolt crashing down, and invisible waves of sound swept outward, whipping up a fierce gale.
The hundreds upon hundreds of martial artists on the platform heard their ears ring and felt their heads threaten to split. Quite a few fainted on the spot, while the rest staggered farther away, their faces deathly pale as they stared toward the center of the lake in horror.
The blood-energy bell shattered before it could hold out for even a single breath, and the vicious kick landed on the Void God Cult Master's chest.
The next instant.
The Void God Cult Master was stamped into the surging river. The lake's surface exploded, throwing up walls of water more than a dozen zhang high that swept in every direction. Even the nearby ships rocked violently under the impact.
Cries of alarm rose everywhere.
Amid the churning waves, the Void God Cult Master plunged straight to the riverbed.
