"Aaaah!"
The agony of losing an arm made Yue Gui scream instinctively. His body swayed, his vision blackened, and the world dimmed around him.
His arm was gone, severed by force. He was crippled.
A figure flashed before his eyes, bursting out from behind the boulder. Astral qi surged around him, carrying a gale, and a savage aura erupted from his body.
Xu Yang tossed away the saber in his hand and pounced like a hunting tiger. His arms spread like a great bird's wings, one hand clenched into a fist, the other curved into a claw.
He had never practiced a saber technique, and wielding a saber still felt awkward.
Had he used his fists, Yue Gui would not merely have lost an arm. He would probably already be dead.
Driving his greater-mastery Flying Swallow Skill to its limit, he became a thunderbolt and caught up with the screaming Yue Gui, clamping five fingers around his wrist.
Bang, bang!
Twelve sharp reports rang out inside his body in succession. Twelve layers of force overlapped in an instant, and his fist tore through the air like a great spear thrust.
"It's-"
Yue Gui's pupils contracted violently, his face filled with fury and murderous intent.
He could now see who had ambushed him. It was not one of those black-clad men at all, but Xu Yang, who had already left.
The bastard had hidden here to ambush him. Not only had he refused to save him, he wanted to kill him too.
Xu Yang gave him no chance to speak. Before he could finish saying "you," the fist struck Yue Gui like a great spear.
Astral qi erupted, and twelve layers of force poured into Yue Gui's body.
Crack!
With a crisp sound of breaking bones, Yue Gui's chest caved in.
