It caught him off guard and for just an instant he almost collapsed to the ground, barely managing to stay in a squatting position while holding onto the Ma Jiang.
His chest heaved up and down while his breathing became more and more turbulent. It felt like there was a knot within his chest that was trying to move upward but could not.

He coughed forcefully, punching his chest repeatedly with one hand to force whatever it was out. And after a few arduous attempts he finally succeeded, throwing up a clump of grey and dark green gelatinous materials.
Another wave of bone-chilling coldness exploded inside his body, this time starting from his chest and spreading to every other organ and body part.
