âAt least you know your own place and is smart enough to have these monsters retreat. For that, Iâll let you have the pleasure of keeping your body intact after I kill you.â Sharpening his gaze, the aura around the middle-aged man grew ominous and terrifying.
âNo, youâre wrong,â Bai Yan snickers a laugh at that comment. âI had them retreat because I want to avoid unnecessary casualty. I alone am enough to deal with someone like you!â
The pompous statement enraged the foe. Sarcastic in his voice: âNothing but a spec of sand, how dare you try to compete with a shining pearl! I will show you what it means to cross those whom you shouldnât!â He attacked right away, churning up a blistering torrent of wind in his movement.
Because of how lightning fast this person went at, the man was able to easily transverse the distance in a flash. Against this amazing speed, Bai Yan didnât care honestly. Right as that palm strikeâs about come thrusting over, all she had to do was swing to one side using her own agility in order to avoid. And thatâs not all. By taking advantage of this opening, sheâs able to slash down with her own sword as a counter maneuver.
The middle-aged man was shocked by the strike. Zipping away at the last crucial moment before the blade slices through his chest, the blow misses its target and comes down at the nearest mountain peak instead. The concentrated slash splits the earth with ease in the next.
Witnessing this display of power from one side, those who remained were truly astounded and stunned by what they saw. This was especially true for those traitors who defected from the Medicine Sect because the image of that peak being their own heads just popped into their minds. As a result, they all instinctively gulped for fear of it becoming a reality.
This woman⦠how did she become so powerful?
Itâs too bad for her though, no matter how strong she?
gets, she could never be a match for that lord.
Yes, thatâs the sort of damning words running through their heads. Despite this, the horror and panic in those eyes betrayed their true thoughts.
âThis girlâ¦â Bai Chang Feng cluelessly stares at the split mountain peak thatâs careening down the hill. Eventually a helpless laugh escapes the old grandpaâs mouth: âIt looks like I really am getting old. Now the world belongs to the younger generation and not us old bones.â
Elder Qi also eased his emotions from the initial tension. Smiling at his liege: âWhat are you saying Chief? How many youngsters out there do you think can compare with the young miss? Only a wise and powerful man like you, Chief, could produce such an outstanding young lady. There wonât be another like her.â
Now thatâs some bootlicking talk right there. Even so, itâs definitely hitting the bullseye with Bai Chang Fengâs heart. Grinning right up to the eye: âHaha, you are absolutely right. Who can compare with my granddaughter? If only Ningâer (daughter) could be here, then she will certainly be very gratified with her daughterâs achievementâ¦..â
âAlso, I have said it earlier. Those who defect from the Medicine Sect will certainly regret their decision!â Turning his attention to that Lin after seeing the worry disappearing from his liege, Elder Qi didnât bother to hide his ridiculing gaze at the other side.
Perhaps ashamed for himself, or just enraged by the sarcastic comment, but the one known as Lin grew ferocious in his rebuttal: âAnd how do you know Bai Yan will come out on top? All she did was split a peak, thatâs nothing! She doesnât have the power to compete with this lord!â
Grunting at the accursed thought, Elder Qi didnât want to waste anymore attention on his former peer. The only person he wants to see now was the fight between Bai Yan and the man.
Well, the truth was this old senior only said those bolstering words in order to comfort his liege. Elder Qi didnât have full confidence the woman could come out on top like Lin said. After all, the strength of this middle-aged man was there for all to see. Its beyond what they could muster and thatâs a fact.
