Huayu Tong simply could not defend himself against this attack so close at hand; he was directly struck in the abdomen by a palm from Huayu Ting, causing him to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood, his body flying towards the direction of the ancestral tablet and heavily smashing onto the offering table.
Where Huayu Ting had struck was neither more nor less than the exact spot of a cultivator's Qitian in the abdomen.
This was the lifeline of all cultivators; once attacked, the lighter consequence would be the loss of years' accumulated strength, while the more severe outcome could be immediate violent death, much like the Overturning Beast that had been struck down years ago.
The gesture of Huayu Ting's attack was also exceedingly strange, with curled fingers that formed neither a fist nor an open palm.
This attacking gesture, as long as one had mingled in the martial world for a few years, could be easily recognized.
