In this critical moment, Kang Haijiao reacted with lightning speed. He did not hesitate to deplete all the Inner Strength he could muster at that moment, bursting forth with his inherent brute power and a sweeping arm punch that forced back the six attackers closing in on him. Immediately after, he sealed the pressure points around the wounds on his torso and directed his Qi from his dantian rapidly downward, channeling it through the meridians to his feet. With a stomp, he powered himself into a backward leap...
The instant he took to the air, he did so almost in a "lying down" position, flying backwards out of the temple gate and gradually straightening his body in midair to land feet first on the ground.
And the six messengers were not about to let Kang Haijiao, now at the end of his tether, escape. They too quickly pursued, their quick swords threatening to strike him down.
