Huh!
The Liu clan master had barely taken a few steps when a sudden, searing pain erupted from deep within his body.
His breath caught in his throat, and for the first time in decades, true panic flashed across his aged features.
Instantly, the flow of spiritual energy he had relied upon all his life shattered like fragile glass.
The massive palm of condensed spiritual power he had conjured a moment earlier dispersed into thin air, vanishing without a trace.
'What is this?! What happened to me?!'
The elders and clansmen of the Liu clan widened their eyes in shock.
Their faces turned pale as they stared at their leader, who now stood frozen, trembling as though an invisible blade had been lodged inside his flesh.
The clan master clenched his teeth, trying to circulate his spiritual energy to suppress the foreign disturbance.
Instead, the sharp pain intensified tenfold, stabbing through every vein and meridian like a thousand barbed needles.
