"Boom...!!"
In a mere instant, Xiao Huang closed in and drove a heavy punch forward.
Along with Xiao Huang's fist came a hundred-zhang column of smoke like beacon smoke rising from war fires, and a fierce fist force formed from thousand-army battle intent.
"Boom!!"
But almost simultaneously, Xu Taiping summoned a white-armed Vajra phantom image with the Heaven-Supporting Form, and the instant Xiao Huang's punch crashed down, its palms struck out together.
"Bang-!"
Amid an ear-splitting collision ringing with the clang of metal and stone, the hundred-odd arms of the Hundred-Armed Vajra Dharma Aspect before Xu Taiping slammed into Xiao Huang's fist force, which resembled beacon smoke rising from war fires.
"Boom...!"
Amid the thunderous crash, over half the hundred arms of the Vajra Dharma Aspect before Xu Taiping shattered, but his figure remained firmly planted where he stood.
Meanwhile, Xiao Huang's fist force was likewise depleted by more than half by the Heaven-Supporting Form's recoil.
Seeing this, Xiahou You let out a long breath and said:
"The young master blocked it!"
What worried her most was that Xiao Huang might overwhelm Xu Taiping outright with his combat strength.
But now, even if they were not evenly matched, he at least had the strength to put up a fight.
Beside her, however, Yan Xuanling shook her head.
"It's too early to say that."
Under the puzzled gazes of Xiahou You, Qu Chao Ci, and the others, Yan Xuanling frowned.
"That punch just now was only a probe from Xiao Huang at most. He used no more than thirty percent of his cultivation power."
"Boom...!"
As she spoke, amid a thunderous roar like surging water, the beacon smoke behind Xiao Huang suddenly swelled dozens of times over, and phantom images of tens of thousands of armed cavalry manifested within it.
"Rumble..."
