The stall owner's expression changed drastically. Before he could finish speaking, he felt a great force surge from Chen Luo's palm. The surrounding air turned into viscous liquid. His open mouth froze in midair, and even the spiritual power inside his body was frozen into dead matter.
The whole world seemed as though someone had pressed the pause button. He could only watch helplessly as the other party's palm gently came to rest atop his head.
