"Tsk, who would've thought this stinking woman's strength had actually reached such a level!" Qiu Yue's expression was solemn as he gazed at Ping Qiu, whose Heavenly Venerate might surged across the heavens and earth, yet there wasn't the slightest trace of respect in his words.
After hearing Qiu Yue's remark, Ping Qiu's aura clearly wavered for a moment before suddenly rising again. Even through the veil of her bamboo hat, Li Zhōujūn and the others could sense the killing intent radiating from her.
Yet Qiu Yue, the instigator himself, shivered before turning directly to Li Tucang and saying, "Great Palace Master, this woman's a bit too strong. Jing Hua, Yi Cailian, and I won't be of any use even if we join in. You fight her while the three of us hold off her subordinates."
"You..." The corner of Li Tucang's mouth twitched, but after thinking it over, he swallowed his curses. After all, Qiu Yue wasn't wrong.

Of the dozen or so subordinates
