Chapter 55

As Alexander launched himself toward the tree, a figure suddenly emerged to confront him. The man was cloaked in black from head to toe, his face covered with cloth, revealing only his piercing, emotionless eyes.

Without hesitation, Alexander released a full-force palm strike, this time he was not holding back. The strike carried at least 50,000 pounds of force, and the air around him seemed to tremble with the sheer power behind the blow.

The cloaked man's eyes widened as he sensed the lethal intent. He sidestepped at the last moment, narrowly avoiding the strike. The force of Alexander's palm hit the trunk of the tree behind him, splintering it into pieces.

Wood and debris exploded into the air, but the black-cloaked man was quick on his feet and was already moving.
