A brutal paw smacked Liang Heng through a forest of trees. He cut right through the thick trunks of the trees as if they never existed in the first place. Doing so had a consequence, massive jolts of pain that throbbed around his spine, paired with a sudden loss of air in his lungs.
He threw himself to the side, dodging another claw that dug a few meters into the earth. Unknowingly, he leaped out of the pan into the fire. A lion-like beast opened its mouth and shot a stream of flame at him. With no way to escape, he brought his hands together and forced Brutal Qi into the meridians of his arms. A reddish aura enveloped his hands just as the flames smacked into him.
