The instant her words fell, Zhuang Lingyun vanished from where she stood. A boom rang out, and Gui Yanjun went flying.
Gui Yanjun was dumbfounded. "???"
Zhuang Lingyun hadn't been this strong when she'd fought Xiao Luxia just moments ago!
He steadied himself and looked toward Zhuang Lingyun. When he saw the shocking power surging from her, his pupils widened in disbelief.
"Such strength... She's so strong!"
"She was hiding this much strength!"
Xiao Luxia, who had just left, turned around and was just as stunned. She hadn't known Zhuang Lingyun had been concealing so much strength, either.

Gui Yanjun was shocked. Her strength was terrifying!
By now, Zhuang Lingyun had completely forgotten her Progenitor's words. Her mind was filled with one thought: kill Gui Yanjun.
She was furious.
What gave that half-human, half-ghost freak
