In the depths of Evergreen Forest.
Luo Xiu struggled out of the Lotus Pond. He was half-kneeling on the surface of the water when his brow suddenly furrowed, and he spat out a bloody tooth. Taking a deep breath, he pursed his lips and spat out another.
The sturdy punch from the Bandaged Man had struck him in the face, instantly knocking out two teeth.
He then reached with his left hand to grab his right shoulder. With a sharp squeeze, twist, pull, and press, he skillfully reset the dislocated joint. He looked up at the Bandaged Man standing silently on the shore, his expression growing somber.
That punch from the Bandaged Man had carried no cultivation aura or fluctuations of Spiritual Power. Yet, its sheer force was terrifyingly powerful, enough to shatter Luo Xiu's protective Gang Qi and injure his Thunder Path Physique.
This thing… it doesn't seem to be the Heavenly Emperor. What in the world is it? It seems I have no choice but to use my sword.
