Mu Qingling's sword strike stunned everyone who was secretly observing, their eyes filled with bewilderment and shock.
This... how is this possible!
A powerful expert at the Late Integration Stage was killed so easily?
And it was a one-second kill.
Although those at the Integration Stage are not considered top-tier experts in the entire Eastern Domain, they are definitely among the very best in the Five Great Cities.
Most importantly, the person who killed him was merely a cultivator at the Void Refinement Perfection.
That's just too amazing.
That attack was terrifying beyond belief; they didn't even see what happened before Yang Yunhai was dead.
Without Yang Yunhai, Ning Yan's movements were no longer restricted.
She was also slightly stunned; clearly, the strength Mu Qingling had just displayed had greatly shocked her.
"Is this... the strength of the Eastern Domain's Heavenly Prodigy?"
She knew that Mu Qingling was Su Chen's Disciple, and that anyone who could become Su Chen's Disciple Certain be exceptionally talented.
But Ning Yan never expected that Mu Qingling would be this terrifying.
He was able to defeat Late Integration Stage simply by virtue of his Void Refinement Perfection.
There are still one major realm and two minor realms in between in the Integration Stage, yet even so, Yang Yunhai was completely powerless against Mu Qingling, and was instantly killed without even blocking a single move.
That's a powerful move!
If Mu Qingling were to fight Yang Yunhai for a while and then defeat Yang Yunhai, she wouldn't feel anything.
However, the fact that Yang Yunhai was defeated in one move was a real blow to her spirit.
Perhaps, in Su Chen's eyes, I was just an ordinary woman?
Ning Yan sighed deeply. Compared to Mu Qingling, the gap between the two of them was simply too great.
Even if she wanted to defeat Mid Integration Stage cultivator, it would be difficult for her, but Mu Qingling easily killed Late Integration Stage cultivator.
This comparison clearly shows the inferiority.
Moreover, Ning Yan could clearly sense that Mu Qingling still had some strength left to unleash. If she were to go all out, she might be able to rival Half-step Guiyuan Realm.
"Who is this person? He killed Late Integration Stage cultivator with a single sword strike. His strength is terrifying!"
"I never expected the Ning Family to have such Trump Cards; they can even send reinforcements."
"None of you have noticed the key point. Am I the only one who sees that her Cultivation Level is only at the Void Refinement Perfection? Such terrifying Sword Intent, and she even kills enemies beyond her realm. A Heavenly Prodigy of this level must have an extraordinary power behind her."
In this world, almost all the Heavenly Prodigy who can cross borders and kill enemies come from powerful forces.
Because talented cultivators are recruited into major powers at a young age.
Moreover, it is difficult for weak forces to cultivate powerful Heavenly Prodigy, as their Cultivation Method and resources are insufficient to satisfy them.
To be able to kill Late Integration Stage expert while only at the Void Refinement Perfection —such a person would be considered a genius even in the entire Eastern Domain.
Beyond that, there are probably only the Heavenly Prodigy from Wangyun City.
I've heard that there are some incredibly talented geniuses there, capable of fighting against experts in the Guiyuan Realm while only in the Void Refinement stage, and some of them come from the Su Family.
Mu Qingling stepped forward, then bowed respectfully. "Greetings, Master's wife. Are you alright?"
Master's wife?
In an instant, everyone present was completely dumbfounded.
Ning Yan is already someone else's woman?
Why have I never heard of this before?
If this happened to any other woman, they might think it was perfectly normal, but it's different for Ning Yan.
Everyone in Pingyang City knows that Ning Yan is an ice queen who rarely has any contact with men.
They were momentarily stunned to hear that Ning Yan was with another man.
However, if this disciple is so terrifying, how incredibly powerful must his Master be?
Could he be a cultivator at the Dao Entry Realm?
Or is he a Saint level powerhouse?
A series of thoughts burst forth in their minds, eventually converging into a single idea.
That means we must never provoke the Ning Family again.
When Ning Yan heard Mu Qingling address her that way, a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face, after all, she and Su Chen were not in that kind of relationship.
But she was neither opposed to it nor afraid that the people of Pingyang City would misunderstand her.
On the contrary, Ning Yan was overjoyed when she heard Mu Qingling call her "Master's wife".
Mu Qingling had called her "Master's wife" a few times in front of Su Chen before, which shows that Su Chen actually had feelings for her. Otherwise, he would have stopped her when Mu Qingling called her "Master's wife".
With this in mind, Ning Yan secretly made up her mind.
Su Chen, I will definitely wait for you.
Just then, an incredibly powerful aura rapidly approached from afar and then instantly descended upon Pingyang City.
This aura was like the Imperial Authority, enveloping the entire Pingyang City and making it difficult for people to breathe.
The next moment.
Above Mu Qingling, the void trembled, and a young figure slowly emerged from it. His eyes were faintly fiery red, and his whole body exuded an incomparably fierce aura.
"This is... the guardian of the Su Family!"
Someone immediately exclaimed in surprise, clearly recognizing who this person was.
As the Su Family's territory, the Five Great Cities were guarded by people sent to them every so often. These people were known as the guardians of the Five Great Cities.
This time, the guardian is Su Yuanba's grandson.
Su Ping Tian!
His father was Su Qian.
Su Ping Tian's Cultivation Level was similar to Mu Qingling's, both being at the peak of the Void Refinement Perfection. However, his Constitution was much stronger, possessing the Nine Yang Imperial Body.
Since the Su Family received a collective boost to their Constitution, their Bloodline has undergone a qualitative leap. Almost all of their descendants have extremely strong Constitution, with the weakest starting from the Heavenly Spirit Root.
"Even the guardians of the Su Family have been mobilized; it seems the disturbance in Pingyang City has indeed escalated considerably this time."
"Everything was fine until this last sword strike, which caused far too much damage to Pingyang City."
Now.
Su Ping Tian coldly looked down, his gaze finally settling on Mu Qingling.
"That Sword Intent is quite strong, but daring to wreak havoc on Pingyang City is courting death!"
As he spoke, his figure vanished from the spot in an instant, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Mu Qingling.
A terrifying power emanated from his body, causing the void to collapse instantly. Su Ping Tian struck Mu Qingling with a palm.
Feeling this Imperial Authority, Mu Qingling's eyes were filled with excitement.
Genius.
This is a true genius.
For so long, she had never felt pressure from a cultivator of the same realm, but today she felt an intense sense of oppression from Su Ping Tian.
This is something that has never happened before.
However, Mu Qingling's eyes showed no emotion other than excitement.
"Clang!"
Mu Qingling drew her sword and slashed, unleashing a torrent of Sword Intent.
The two extremely powerful attacks collided, and a gale swept across the entire Pingyang City, causing countless houses and buildings to collapse instantly, and the void to shatter like a mirror.
"Bang!"
A figure was sent flying backwards in an instant, and Mu Qingling's figure was directly smashed out of Pingyang City.
Clearly, Su Ping Tian won this first encounter.
Su Ping Tian lowered his head slightly, his eyes narrowing as he looked at the blood flowing continuously from his hand.
What powerful Sword Intent!
In the blink of an eye, his injuries were completely healed.
