Mark launched a blow aimed at Xuanyuan's forehead with his left hand when he reached melee range. The other arm was already ready to strike where Xuanyuan would dodge at. Xuanyuan was able to deduce at a glance that Mark was a Body refinement realm expert that had taken half a step into the Flowing water realm.
Just when the blow was about to reach him, Xuanyuan calmly took a step back and Mark's punch only stopped an inch before his face. Mark, who seemed to have expected this, moved a bit forward and struck towards him with his right arm. Xuanyuan calmly dodged further to the right and casually struck a blow at Mark's arm.
Mark knew the attack was going to hit him but he was prepared to endure.
"He's not an Inner force master so his punch won't be a problem" Mark thought.
