"Fuck!" Li Chen exclaimed as he saw the massive hammer racing toward his head with immense force. The strike was too close, and he had no chance to dodge in time. His only option was to lift his left hand and thrust it forward in a pushing motion.
At that moment, a fiery claw materialized out of thin air.
BOOM!
The hammer collided with the fire claw midair, resulting in a massive explosion that sent both Li Chen and Hu Feng flying in opposite directions, with the hammer shattered to pieces by the blast.
They were both thrown a distance before landing far apart from one another.
The explosion was fierce, and they both sustained injuries, but Li Chen got off relatively lightly with just a few broken bones, a cracked rib, and some bruises. Other than that, he was able to stand firmly on his two feet without issue.
