Just then, Wang Yu flipped through the air again.
Leaving a string of afterimages streaking through the air, he somehow crossed seventy or eighty feet and appeared directly above the short man.
With a low shout, he shook both arms, striking downward with a palm and a fist.
Two sharp whooshes rang out.
An enormous, glittering golden palm print and the phantom of a gigantic golden fist roared down.
The short man's expression changed, and he flicked his sleeve upward. The dozen or so eerie green flames before him shot toward the golden palm print, while the huge green hand gripping the black flying knife swept around to meet the golden fist phantom.
Boom!
The green flames struck the golden palm print and burst into billowing green fire, making the palm print falter.
When the huge green hand collided with the golden fist phantom, golden light flashed. The fist phantom instantly burst apart, revealing a gourd concealed within.
The gourd trembled once, then exploded as well, spraying a dense shower of dark green droplets down toward the short man.
A foul, bloody stench filled the surrounding air. The liquid was clearly lethally poisonous.
The Green-Robed Dwarf let out a strange cry and spat out a Silver Talisman. It unfurled into a broad swath of silver radiance that swept up every dark green droplet in the sky, condensing into the phantom of a Silver Vial.
Just then, another muffled bang rang out.
The huge green hand in the air shuddered. A streak of black light shot out of it and, in a flash, caught the Green-Robed Dwarf off guard, piercing his chest and leaving a gaping, bloody hole.
Wang Yu had quietly invoked the power of the Metal-Dowsing Art, forcing the black flying knife free of the huge green hand's control.
