The sword shadow and the giant claw collided with a thunderous crash.
In that instant, the entire underground karst cavern seemed to be ruthlessly clenched by an invisible giant hand. Heaven, earth, and all things fell still for a moment.
Immediately afterward, white light and crimson radiance surged at once, like two stars smashing together within the cavern. Blinding light erupted, shattering the Origin Qi across several hundred miles into fragments.

His palm clawed around the sword tip.
The sword radiance flickered. The purple scales on Li Hunsheng's hand rapidly shattered, followed by his flesh and hand bones.
The immense force transmitted through the sword shadow blasted his entire body toward the ground.
"Bang—"
Li Hunsheng crashed into the ground, sending shattered rocks flying everywhere.

Li Hunsheng was seriously injured. His entire right arm had been reduced to a little shredded flesh and broken bone hanging from his shoulder. Many scales elsewhere on his body had also shattered, and he was drenched in blood.
But the vicious aura around him had not diminished
