His ice cream was not yet ready when a figure charged out of the shadows towards him. Lin Xiao seemed to notice nothing.
However, when the attacker was less than a decimeter away from Lin Xiao, they collapsed to the ground uncontrollably, blood flowing from beneath them. A sharp blade protruded from their abdomen.
"Attack!"
Nangong Huowu also made her move.
Under the scorching sun, her fiery red figure descended from the sky, her red veil unfurling like a phoenix descending from the heavens!
It wasn't just the appearance; she was enveloped in dense true qi, as if a layer of flames roiled around her, distorting the surrounding air with her scorching true qi!
All the others were merely distractions to draw Lin Xiao's attention. Only Huowu was the true killing blow!
Below Grandmaster, all are ants!
No matter how many people there were, they were no match for a Grandmaster in a single exchange.
Lin Xiao stopped his movements. He looked up, Nangong Huowu like a phoenix spreading its wings, sealing off the space above him. The aura only Grandmasters possessed made the space almost congeal.
Immense pressure bore down upon Lin Xiao.
This attack not only leveraged Nangong Huang's own strength as a Grandmaster but also her 'borrowing of momentum'.
For a Grandmaster to win, it wasn't simply a clash of techniques and true qi, but also the art of borrowing momentum!
And now, under the blazing sun, Nangong Huowu's descent from the sky was precisely this borrowing of momentum!
Nangong Huowu was now exerting more than 120% of her strength! She was confident that with this strike, even a Grandmaster would be severely injured if grazed.
It wasn't just the physical damage from the true qi, but also its inherent properties.
The Li Huo True Qi of their Nangong family could imbue true qi with fire attributes, meaning that at this moment, a graze would result in a burn.
The body-protecting true qi of a Grandmaster could not block it.
In less than half a breath's time, her strike would land on Lin Xiao. She already regretted her ruthlessness, fearing she wouldn't be able to extract the whereabouts of the Overlord True Qi, and would have to search for it herself.
After all, Lin Xiao's reaction at this moment was too slow; he could only forcibly take her strike... But how could Lin Xiao of the Lin family withstand this attack that even the elders of their Nangong family dared not face head-on?
Just as her foot was about to land on Lin Xiao's crown, Lin Xiao's movements seemed to accelerate severalfold. He suddenly looked up, even flashing a smile at her. Then, she saw Lin Xiao's fist, arriving later but striking first, imbued with a power she had never witnessed. From below, he met her attack head-on with a punch!
This position was inherently advantageous for her. If he were to strike so forcefully, under normal circumstances, Lin Xiao's hand would have been directly kicked and broken by her attack.
But...
Nangong Huowu felt she was witnessing the most absurd thing of her life.
Lin Xiao's fist met her foot. She had subconsciously channeled all her true qi into her leg moments ago. At the point of impact, a wave of energy diffused outwards, and the ground seemed to vibrate slightly.
As her fist connected with Lin Xiao's, she felt her leg groan, followed by a 'snap'. In that brief moment, her leg was broken.
