The two figures parted at the first touch, each retreating a step.
The violet hue in Chu Qing's eyes flashed and vanished as he turned to look at Wu Qianhuan.
"Young Miss Wu, are you unharmed?"
"...Had you come any later, it truly might have been dangerous."
Wu Qianhuan's brows knit slightly.
"Why didn't you strike from the shadows? Why not kill him with a single sword stroke?"
She had witnessed Chu Qing's swift sword. Though Pillar of Strength was extraordinary, it was hard to say whether he could withstand Chu Qing's blade.
Chu Qing released the hand he had been holding.
"Because there are some things I wanted to ask him."
"What is this thing, daring to act so presumptuously before the Deputy Valley Lord of Valley of Ten Thousand Nights?"
Wu Da snorted coldly and stepped forward to attack.
Wu Qianhuan's gaze turned icy. She had just forced Wu Da back with one sword strike and stabbed Wu Er to death. Had Wu Qingshan not been present, these two were not even fit to carry her shoes.
Yet now they still dared to be so arrogant...
But before she could react, a sword had already pierced through Wu Da's throat.
Of the several people present, not one saw exactly when Chu Qing had drawn his sword!
Wu Qingshan's eyes grew grave. When he looked at the sword in Chu Qing's hand, his pupils suddenly contracted.
Wu Qianhuan did not notice the change in Wu Qingshan's expression. She only felt that Chu Qing's swordsmanship seemed even faster than before.
When he killed Xin Youhen, his swift sword had indeed been unmatched.
Yet it had not been entirely without trace...
But now, his swordsmanship was so fast that it seemed he did not need to draw his sword at all.
