The gale howled.
The wind seemed to possess an extremely powerful penetrative force.
The grotesque hands had been unharmed by the domain power of [Eternal Day] earlier, but the instant they touched this "wind," countless wounds appeared, cut so deep their bones showed.
As time passed, the wounds grew larger. Black blood seeped out and dripped onto the ground.
The shadows flowing from beneath the Ghost Buddha's feet also seemed to be shut out by this Wind Field.
"Th-this is?!"
The wind billowed Shen Qiuyu's thin clothes, but she paid it no mind. Instead, she stared at Jiang Mian's back.
As an awakened one on the [Elemental] Path, she could sense that the elements of this world had been "polluted."
But the Wind Element in this sudden gale was exceptionally pure. It definitely hadn't been caused by that monster.
She suddenly recalled all the little details from the train: Jiang Mian's extraordinary reaction speed in moments of crisis, her physical abilities far beyond those of ordinary people.
And now, Jiang Mian's aura was clearly off. She was like a beast that had fixed its sights on prey, holding her presence in check. There was no killing intent, yet the pressure she exuded was suffocating.
Shen Qiuyu had never seen Jiang Mian like this.
That girl who was always quiet and easily embarrassed now seemed so unfamiliar that a chill crept into Shen Qiuyu's heart.
Was she really just a Second-tier [Eye of the Storm]?
"Ye Chenyang, what... is going on with her?"
Yin Mengyao was much more direct than Shen Qiuyu.
She already had a guess, but still found it hard to believe.
It seemed Ye Chenyang knew about this.
That made things all the more intriguing.
"We'll talk about it afterward."
Ye Chenyang glanced aside but didn't answer directly.
