Compared to the tension felt by the various members of the Medicine Sectâs people, the middle-aged man had on more of a frown than unease when facing his foe. Heâs no longer underestimating Bai Yan and takes her as a dangerous opponent.
Then just when heâs deliberating on what to do next regarding the problem before himself, thatâs all the delay it was needed for another opening to happen. Swinging her sword downward from above, Bai Yan crosses the distance even faster than the middle-aged man did earlier. This feat numbed the foe because he knew this didnât bold well for himself.
Boom!
A loud rocking tremor shakes the earth followed by another mountain peak being sliced apart by the blade aura. But instead of rolling down the hill like the last, this time the entire thing crumbles apart in mid-air before scattering the rubbles across the area.
Everyone literally felt a chill running down their backs at this sight, including the middle-aged man because the aftereffect was a destructive storm of blades swirling around in the air. Dodging this next attack would be difficult even for him. Sure enough, that robe on the man got torn to rags and left him injured all over.
Gritting hit teeth, those eyes turned red as he glared at the woman. If not for the blade storm stopping at the last moment, he wouldâve fallen right out of the sky due to the damage.
âTo think just now you didnât use your full strength when facing my subordinates, hahaha!â The man bellows out a laugh despite the blood trickling down the corner of his mouth, âFine, this time itâs my mistake for underestimating you!â
Thereâs no hindrance for him to admit defeat, but for those traitors of the Medicine Sect, they are growing increasingly more agitated. This was absolutely true for Elder Lin who defected at the end. The old manâs pale to begin with after seeing Bai Yanâs power, and now he could barely keep his legs straight.
âLord Wu, how can you lose? I Know this womanâs power the best, sheâs only at the Monarch Rank! Sheâs not even a match for our chief, how can she best you!â
Yes, Bai Yanâs only bluffing, she canât be these peopleâs opponent.
If this man really lost⦠then my fate will be just as miserable!
The joy on Elder Qiâs face hasnât even disappeared yet when he overheard his former peerâs damning comment. Red in his eyes, the old senior lashes out at the other one: âWhat did you say? How could the young miss not win? Donât forget, you were also an elder of the Medicine Sect before!â
From beginning to end, Bai Yan did not say much until now. Locking onto the enemy, she speaks using a faint voice of indifference: âI will only ask you once, why are you people from the Spirit Realm coming to make trouble for the Medicine Sectâ¦â
Shuddering somewhat at the inferior position heâs now in, the middle-aged man grinds his molar and refuses to answer.
âWonât answer?â she snickers coldly. âFine, I wonât force you, it doesnât matter if you wonât say anyways. Oh yes, I want to tell you that when I kill someone, I never leave their soul behind either, meaning you will not have the chance to reincarnate.â
In response to that last bit, the man himself almost burst out screaming in horror. He couldnât believe what heâs heard, but based on his judgment of this woman, itâs a certainty she would do as she saysâ¦.
âI⦠Iâll speak. I myself donât know the exact details either, it was my familyâs chief who sent us to occupy this location, as well as the Holy Land and Misty Fairy Houseâ¦.â
