"This is..."
"Not dead?"
As Li Lianying looked up, the other Reincarnators instinctively raised their heads as well, seeing the figure looking down upon the world without the slightest attempt at concealment.
Those glass-like, kaleidoscopic eyes gave them an inexplicable sense of vastness beyond words.
Though an ominous sense of panic kept rising in his heart, the masked figure from the Far East Governor's Mansion still spoke with a smile.
"Looks like my earlier estimate wasn't wrong. He really did use some life-saving method to escape the killing blow. He's just a little stupid—after finally getting away, he didn't even hurry up and use an Escape Scroll..."
His somewhat dry laugh inexplicably added a few more layers of oppression to the already silent scene, making the atmosphere even more awkwardly frigid.
An indescribable gleam appeared in Li Lianying's eyes. Though he tried his best to keep his expression unchanged, the gravity emanating from him could still be felt.
"To escape with one's life from my hands truly is an impressive method..."
"Your strength is likely far beyond what you have shown. I initially thought you had used some Forbidden Jutsu to achieve that attack, but that was actually your normal level of performance, wasn't it?"
"Before even becoming an Intruder, you have reached such a level. It is truly unprecedented, unheard of."
"I never thought Beiyang would be hiding someone like you..."
Li Lianying did not immediately attack again. Clearly, he was now truly taking this opponent seriously.
What he said also left the other Reincarnators staring in astonishment.
So this man had been such a powerful expert all along?!
What scheme was Beiyang plotting this time? Had they learned of our operation and specifically sent him here to intercept us?!
"Good thing the Grand Steward came personally this time.
