Chapter 354: Charge (3)
“Huff—”
The village gatekeeper gasped belatedly.
Through his fading vision, he saw the figure of an otherworldly young man, wreathed in a faint, smoke-like aura.
It was an impossible sight for any martial artist to comprehend.
The Guardian Qi Barrier was an inner power technique, inseparable from a martial artist’s body—it wasn’t something as simple as a piece of clothing.
Even the one who cast it would struggle to impose it on another. The idea of having it forcibly stripped away was so unthinkable that no one even considered the possibility.
Unless one was born with an innate ability to perceive the flow of internal energy with absolute precision and wield an incomprehensible level of inner power control—
“You... who are you?”
A man of the highest standing even within the mighty Golden Western Gate.
It was only natural that the wielder of the Dragon Spirit Divine Fist would be stunned.
From the very first move, his technique had been disrupted. He should have immediately launched into his second strike, yet he hesitated, momentarily frozen in place.
Jeong Yeon-shin did not answer. Instead, he furrowed his brow slightly.
