"Ah, you almost killed me, old man. Fortunately, I had erected a barrier using Talisman scroll in time to counter the one that you had used. But it's still me who came out on top in the end. Now you know whats the difference between the Riverland Sect Disciples and rogue cultivators like you people. Keep that in mind when I send you the afterlife". Joseph nonchalantly rolled and stood up from the place he had been blasted away to and then started walking towards them while dusting his battered clothes with his hands because of the explosion earlier.
Joseph seemed fine externally but only he knew that he had suffered some internal injuries from the battle and didn't come out unscathed completely. Also, he had spent two-third of his Qi to defeat the old man.
