Their attacks clashed, and Xiang Ji was actually forced back half a step!
The Path of Overlord knows no retreat.
To take even half a step back meant he had lost the upper hand!
WHOOSH!!
With a light tap of his foot, Xiang Ji instantly created distance from Zhao Xuanqi. The surging Qi and Blood within him subsided, returning to normal. He stood in silence, saying nothing.
The exchange had gone far enough. To continue would mean a battle to the death, with all their trump cards laid bare. Given their respective positions, they could not take that step.
As it stood, the strength Zhao Xuanqi had displayed was staggering.
Lu Yuanxiang and the others watching from the side had not expected this outcome either.
A great reputation casts a long shadow.
In Jinmen, and indeed throughout the entire civilian Martial Arts Realm of the Divine Land, the reputations of Zhao Yuan and Xiang Ji were immense. They loomed like two great peaks in the minds of countless people.
