Escaping in Different Directions

In the midst of the flying light, a 25-centimeter-long nail flew towards at Meng Qi. The charms on it were intertwined and it glowed brightly with Heaven Dao.

Illuminated with colorful flames, it reached Meng Qi's back at frightening speed.

Pa!

With a melodious ringing Meng Qi's Protective Upstanding Qi was penetrated, as if through a thin paper screen, leaving a gaping hole in his back. The nail passed through his heart, coming out stained red and setting his body on fire from inside out. It was locked onto his Vital Spirit, which meant that it now held his life on thin balance.

His physical body suddenly exploded, turning his flesh and blood into airflows which took the flames away and bent the nail.

Meng Qi reappeared a foot away, ashes fluttering from his chest. The Disaster-avoiding Charm he had obtained at dusk was broken.

Crack! The nail disintegrated after missing its target.
