Li Ling's movement was rapid, crossing the distance between himself and his foe so fast that a normal human's eye could not track it, making it seem akin to teleportation. His outstretched hand was inches from the right temple of Huo Yang, who seemed to be unable to react in time, causing Li Ling to curl his lips.
PAH!
And yet, with a seemingly casual slap, Huo Yang deflected Li Ling's palm away with a rapid movement from stillness to motion that caught the young man off guard. Then, Huo Yang punched outwards, striking Li Ling in the chest with his full force, causing a small shockwave of power to erupt from behind the young man's back and billow out into the distance.
Li Ling was curled in the air like a shrimp before coming down to his knees before Huo Yang, grasping his chest with agony as his shattered ribs struggled to heal since Huo Yang had invested some of his Fire Aura into that attack.
