Ma Long’s heavy fist struck Zhao Wei, pushing him back by one step.
This perfectly saved Tang Geng.
However, at this moment, he himself was completely exposed within Zhao Wei’s attack range.
Zhao Wei was already furious because Tang Geng had interrupted his spellcasting. Now, his attack was foiled once again due to Ma Long, which only added fuel to the fire, making him extremely angry.
“Damn it! You insolent dog!”
Gritting his teeth in hatred, Zhao Wei immediately threw an uppercut towards Ma Long.
Ma Long’s expression changed drastically. He hurriedly drew his hand back and pressed down, covering his hands and forcefully pushing against Zhao Wei’s iron fist.
Zhao Wei’s punch came quickly, without time to gather strength, so its power was not as great as imagined.
Ma Long, giving his all, barely managed to resist this attack.
However, Zhao Wei’s strength could not be underestimated.
The seemingly light punch still sent Ma Long flying, tumbling several somersaults in the air before finally stopping.
But.
Before his body could fully stabilize, Zhao Wei moved forward rapidly again, instantly reappearing before Ma Long. He brought his palm down, aiming directly for Ma Long’s crown.
This palm strike was naturally incomparable to the previous punch.
Its momentum was like a thousand jun, pressing down heavily on Ma Long’s head.
Ma Long dared not resist head-on. He could only control his body to descend rapidly, creating some distance before rolling to evade the move.
Zhao Wei’s palm reacted slower. It continued straight down, smashing fiercely into a large tree in the dense forest, a tree that several people could embrace.
“Thunderous!”
The large tree instantly split into pieces, causing Tang Qin, Song Heguo, and the others to tremble in fear.
“Holy cow! If this palm strike had hit Ma Long, the outcome would probably be the same, right?”
Dan Nan remarked with emotion.
Even with his mid-Nascent Soul stage strength, he wouldn’t dare to claim he could unleash such power with a casual palm strike.
“Late-stage God Transformation is indeed late-stage God Transformation. Their strength is simply not comparable to ours. And this is when he isn’t using any martial skills. But if he were to use them, even the lowest-tier Yellow Grade skill, it would be enough to give a Golden Core cultivator a tough time!”
Song Heguo also looked incredulous, and at the same time, he felt fortunate that Ma Long had dodged Zhao Wei’s strike.
What Dan Nan said was not wrong.
If this attack had landed on Ma Long, the consequences would indeed be unimaginable.
On the other side, after Ma Long evaded the strike, he did not hesitate.
He felt that Zhao Wei must be at a moment of weakness after missing his attack, so without further thought, he channeled his power into a punch directed at Zhao Wei’s back.
“Thunderous Saint Fist!”
As he unleashed his punch, Tang Geng, whom he had saved, was not idle either.
Coordinating with him, his flying sword shot out, aiming for Zhao Wei’s face.
With this pincer attack from front and back, ordinary people would have no chance of survival.
What’s more, at this moment, Liu Xiaoxiao also seized the opportunity, flying up to join them, descending from above.
Her slender palm struck directly at Zhao Wei’s celestial pool on his head.
Attacked from three sides, it was a perilous situation.
Yet, Zhao Wei showed no trace of tension on his face. He retracted his palm and stood calmly, seemingly unconcerned by the impending three-pronged assault.
Only when the three individuals’ attacks reached him did he suddenly clench his fist with one hand.
A surge of immense energy exploded.
With one punch directed at Liu Xiaoxiao above him, their palms met. Liu Xiaoxiao was sent flying back instantly, like a wooden stake being struck.
Zhao Wei did not press his advantage against Liu Xiaoxiao. Instead, he immediately executed a divine serpent’s tail whip, his toe directly kicking the body of Tang Geng’s flying sword.
With a crisp metallic hum and the vibration of the sword, it was sent flying.
Following the momentum of this move, Zhao Wei had already completed a beautiful turn.
Completely ignoring Ma Long’s punch, he transformed his right hand into a claw, aiming directly for Ma Long’s throat.
Ma Long had no time to retract his move now.
He could only watch helplessly as Zhao Wei’s claw reached for him.
“Damn it! If I’m going to die, I’ll take a piece of you with me today!”
With a resolve to die, Ma Long’s momentum did not decrease. He ignored Zhao Wei’s attack and instead continued to attack with all his might.
Seeing this, Tang Geng and Liu Xiaoxiao were stunned.
They cried out repeatedly.
“Ma Long!”
Song Heguo and Dan Nan understood the gravity of the situation and also guessed Ma Long’s intentions.
There was no time to warn him. They could only fly forward as much as possible, intending to rescue Ma Long.
“Bang!”
Very smoothly.
Ma Long’s fist landed on Zhao Wei’s abdomen.
He smiled slightly, having succeeded.
However, after taking this punch, Zhao Wei acted as if nothing had happened, his body completely unmoved.
Ma Long was somewhat puzzled. He looked closely and saw a faint golden protective layer surrounding Zhao Wei.
This layer of energy completely absorbed all of Ma Long’s strength.
It was like a mud ox entering the sea, causing no damage whatsoever.
Ma Long was greatly alarmed.
In his haste, he finally tried to flip and dodge Zhao Wei’s attack.
As he turned his head, he saw Zhao Wei wearing a look of contemptuous amusement.
“Damn you, you dog!”
Ma Long cursed inwardly.
But this seemed to be nothing more than his silent roar, unable to change the outcome.
Zhao Wei’s hand had already reached his neck. He had no possibility of escape.
“Accept your fate, trash!”
This was Zhao Wei’s mindset.
For him, eliminating everyone around Han Lang brought him immense pleasure.
But just as this seemed within his grasp, a slender figure suddenly floated over, embracing the defenseless Ma Long like a phantom, gradually pulling him and Zhao Wei’s claws apart.
Zhao Wei was shocked and turned to look.
It was Tang Qin.
Tang Qin’s Netherworld Claw technique was known for its speed.
Especially when Zhao Wei was completely unprepared, she launched a sudden attack.
Therefore, the plan to rescue Ma Long appeared in her mind at that critical moment.
The moment she embraced Ma Long, she knew she was about to succeed!
Although her strength was inferior to Zhao Wei’s, she was very willing and proud to make Zhao Wei’s attack miss, just like Ma Long.
However, she had underestimated Zhao Wei’s capabilities.
Although the Netherworld Footwork was fast, in Zhao Wei’s eyes, it was exceptionally slow.
In this instant, Zhao Wei had already changed his offensive strategy, switching his target from Ma Long to Tang Qin. He directly reversed his hand, striking towards Tang Qin’s cheek.
If this were an ordinary person’s backhand, it would be a rather painful slap.
But this was the backhand of a late-stage God Transformation expert like Zhao Wei, so the situation was naturally not so simple.
Tang Qin seemed not to have expected Zhao Wei to react so quickly in such a situation.
She dared not hesitate, her feet suddenly accelerating, fleeing at extreme speed.
“Hmph! Trying to leave? Not a chance!”
