Chapter 175: One hundred seventy-five Jade Cold Qi
A lightning-fast exchange of Meridian Techniques left the surrounding Outer Sect prodigies overwhelmed. Initially, the confrontation of techniques unfolded just as they had anticipated.
Family Head, as a Meridian Rushing Realm Cultivator, unleashed Meridian Techniques far more formidable than Yun Xiao’s; such a clash would surely place Yun Xiao at a disadvantage.
However, while Yun Xiao did indeed lose in the exchange of techniques, Family Head’s Tiger Head Meridian Techniques failed to injure him. Yun Xiao’s extreme reflexes and speed astonishingly granted him the initiative for a counterattack.
Huff...
Yun Xiao’s right fist, wreathed in the peak Meridian Qi of the Meridian Gathering Realm, appeared somewhat hazy and blurred. The whooshing of the wind it thrust forward invoked envy among some peak talents of the Meridian Gathering Realm below the arena.
It could be said Yun Xiao reached his present standing purely on his own strength, without resorting to any shortcuts—merely, he had the misfortune of facing the Meridian Rushing Realm Early Stage Cultivator, Family Head. Defeat was only a matter of time.
Therefore, although everyone sensed the considerable power behind Yun Xiao’s punch, they didn’t believe it could truly harm Family Head. While ferocious against Meridian Gathering Cultivators, such an attack would seem negligible to one in the Meridian Rushing Realm.
"How foolhardy!"
Indeed, just as Yun Xiao’s punch seemed about to strike Family Head’s right cheek, Family Head let out a scoff of disdain and reached out his right hand, effortlessly catching Yun Xiao’s fist in his grasp.
"Yun Xiao, you will pay the price for overestimating yourself!"
