Lu Dechu neither dodged nor evaded; the Celestial Spirit Palm technique "Vajra Bodyguard" surged forth in an instant, his fleshy palm swatting the silver needles away like flies, yet the poison scorched his palm, leaving charred black marks. Xuanming Left Elder's Judge Pen gave a light shake, and the Ice Silkworm Silk suddenly loosened from Jin Liufu, then coiled toward Lu Dechu's neck like a Spiritual Snake.
Lu Dechu twisted his body aside in a hurried dodge, swinging the wine gourd in a sweeping arc; the cold-iron gourd body clashed with the Ice Silkworm Silk, ringing out with the sound of metal striking metal.
That collision actually shook the Ice Silkworm Silk into a faint tremor, but it also numbed Lu Dechu's tiger's mouth, and the gourd almost flew from his hand.
