Because My Virtue Is Great, the Treasure Is Mine

Daughter of Stonemason Xu stood at the entrance of the bridal sedan, both hands tucked into her sleeves, staring straight at Chu Qing.

Chu Qing met Daughter of Stonemason Xu's gaze openly.

At this moment:

Everyone held their breath.

The procession of over a thousand people was silent as a graveyard.

The ordinary guards' hearts churned like stormy seas.

They had seen with their own eyes how Luo Sheng, besieged by so many Third Limit experts, had not only remained uninjured but had instead slaughtered them all.

Yet Luo Sheng, so domineering and powerful, was dead.

Though he had held the upper hand, the situation had reversed in a single second.

That country youth had beaten him to death with his bare hands.

He had even torn off his head.

And the bastard had died with his eyes wide open.

This country youth probably had the bloodline of some top clan in the Imperial Capital; perhaps he was even of imperial blood; perhaps... he was the heir of some reclusive sect?

The eight elderly men and women gripped their weapons tightly.

Their expressions were solemn as they roused every shred of their Spirit and Energy.

They even began recalling their past achievements, bolstering their confidence and momentum.

"We are not afraid of this youth. He killed Luo Sheng only because Luo Sheng had fought forty or fifty Third Limit experts and had not had time to break past the limit."

"If Luo Sheng had broken past the limit beforehand, this youth... would certainly have died!"

Yet they all knew that no matter what excuses they made, Luo Sheng was dead, while Chu Qing was alive.

Together, they could hold off Luo Sheng.

But... they might not be able to hold off Chu Qing.

Daughter of Stonemason Xu's expression was grave.
