Chu Qing pointed with a finger, showing Wu Qianhuan struggling amidst the eight, danger surrounding:
"Isn’t this clear? Do you want to wait until she’s dead before I act rashly?"
"I..."
Lan Shuyi was momentarily speechless.
Then, the next moment, there was a humming sound.
Chu Qing, initially standing before him, suddenly vanished.
This wasn’t Chu Qing’s usual lightweight technique...Lan Shuyi confirmed, earlier when attacking the man and woman, Chu Qing indeed used another lightweight technique.
If his original technique was like light smoke, like flying fluff, this current technique...was explosive and swift, akin to thunder and lightning!
The eight Taiheng Sect experts attacking Wu Qianhuan sensed something amiss.
Like a fierce wind sweeping over, intense like a storm surge!
[Eight Directions Thousand Extremes Array] once formed, outsiders find it hard to intervene, yet this wind ignored all that.
Not even giving them a moment to react!
Before they realized, the surging wind had already slammed down fiercely.
This wind moved the eight’s forms, involuntarily scattering them in all directions.
Leaving Wu Qianhuan alone standing in the midst!
Everyone looked up, finding no trace of the person, faces filled with astonishment.
This was not natural wind between heaven and earth, it was inner strength, driven by body technique, forming waves.
But what kind of person possessed such overwhelming inner power?
Searching all around, yet seeing no enemy trace.
Then, a voice came from the side:
"What are you looking for?"
The voice was behind a Taiheng Sect expert, the same one who earlier vowed that Chu Qing would have no return.
At this moment, the voice behind him tightened his heart, and his neck as well.
Five fingers like iron clamps, catching him in that instant, force swept across his body with unmatched power, leaving him no room to resist.
The next instant, he was lifted by the neck:
"Looking for me?"
Everyone now saw an expression darkened Chu Qing.
"It’s you!"
"Third Prince!"
"Release Elder Juchen, spare your life!"
Chu Qing laughed silently:
"I’ve always greeted with a smile, do you think I wouldn’t kill?"
His fingers tightened, and the elder Juchen who vowed Chu Qing would have no return, suddenly showed a painful face, the sound of tiny bones cracking sent chills to those hearing.
Chu Qing squeezed the neck while walking forward:
"Today I learn Taiheng Sect doesn’t welcome me.
"In that case, say it plainly, why pretend?
"Was tonight’s drama aimed at me?
"Why this effort? Taiheng Sect wants me dead, come ahead, I’ll face each one.
"Attacking my friends while I’m away...
"You bunch, half a foot in the grave but bullying youngsters, isn’t it shameless?"
He reached Wu Qianhuan, his tone softened:
"You okay?"
Wu Qianhuan shook her head:
"Luckily, you arrived in time."
Finished speaking, she glanced at elder Juchen in Chu Qing’s hand, her expression complex:
"Kill him, and we’ll never reconcile with Taiheng Sect."
"No matter."
Chu Qing spoke softly:
"From their first strike against you, there’s no chance for reconciliation.
"For Ling Beichen’s sake, I’ll spare them extermination."
Chu Qing dared not imagine, had he been later, had those Taiheng Sect experts attacked much earlier.
What scene would he face upon arrival!?
Possibilities for reconciliation were for others.
This group, none needed or deserved reconciliation.
With that, cracking sounds came from Chu Qing’s hand.
Elder Juchen’s head tilted, unable to utter another word before dying.
Unable to fulfill his vow that Chu Qing wouldn’t return.
"No!!!"
The remaining few watched Chu Qing kill elder Juchen, eyes red with fury.
Chu Qing flicked the man’s body away:
"His name was fitting, racing away ahead of you.
"Are you prepared to follow in his footsteps?"
