Venerate Shenzang wanted to capture Zhao Li first, so he struck without warning. In an instant, he appeared behind Zhao Li and drove a palm toward his back.
Zhao Li's Spiritual Sense stirred. He turned, raised his hand, and lightly twisted his wrist before meeting the attack with his own palm.
"Bang!"
Their palms collided, and a thunderous boom rang out.
The violent energy fluctuation made the Void tremble. Space constantly tore apart and repaired itself, revealing great expanses of darkness as massive energy poured into the unknown space.
As he met Venerate Shenzang's palm, every muscle in Zhao Li's body began to vibrate at a peculiar frequency, as though merging with the Void and dispersing most of Venerate Shenzang's palm force. At the same time, he circulated his Dou Qi and concentrated the remaining force in one place.
Zhao Li's palm then trembled slightly as he continued pressing forward. Another burst of Internal Force erupted, exploding together with Venerate Shenzang's palm force. Layer upon layer, an even greater strength surged toward Venerate Shenzang.
Venerate Shenzang's palm had accomplished nothing. Just as he was about to withdraw it, Zhao Li followed up. His sleeves whipped wildly and his arm trembled lightly. He retreated several steps before finally dispelling the immense force.
In that brief exchange, Zhao Li had caught Venerate Shenzang off guard, making him suffer a loss.
Seeing their palm forces collide and Venerate Shenzang retreat, the onlookers were greatly encouraged. Zhao Li's strength had exceeded their expectations.
But when they saw Venerate Shenzang grow serious, they became tense again.
"Can he win this battle?"
A Dou Zun powerhouse was already a peak existence on the continent. None of them had ever seen one before.
No one knew how the battle would end. All they could do was wait
