Just as Jiang Wang unfurled his Frost Cloak and held his sword across Zhu Lanruo's jade-white neck, an incomparably sharp flash of sword light shot forth like startled lightning splitting across ten thousand miles, illuminating heaven and earth in an instant!
"Are you walking me like a dog? Do you take me for Quan Xihua?!"
Lu Qilang had arrived!
Though Jiang Wang had already done the best he possibly could, he could not possibly dispatch Zhu Lanruo in an instant. In his entanglement with Orchid Cause, Catkin Fruit, he had been delayed for the briefest moment.
To Lu Qilang, whose ability to seize battle opportunities stood at the pinnacle, that fleeting instant of a white colt passing a crack was an eternity dividing life from death.
Flame Flower City-Burning Art was nearly Jiang Wang's most masterfully wielded, and most devastatingly powerful, super-grade Daoist Art. Yet it could not stop Lu Qilang, who had unleashed his killing power without reserve.
This sword, whose momentum had been building for so long, was utterly released. The sword light that connected sky and earth instead drew inward. Boundless lightning flashed past—and there was not a sound.
Jiang Wang had just passed out of Flame City, carrying the force of a heavenly god as he slashed at Zhu Lanruo.
Lu Qilang stepped into Flame City right after him, his brocade robes fluttering as he strode forward.
Wherever he passed, cracks naturally formed. Pavilions, towers, streets... split apart with sharp cracks from time to time.
By the time he reached Jiang Wang's back, this city ablaze in crimson flames split open straight down the middle and collapsed behind him.
His steps looked so unhurried, yet he closed in with such speed. It was as though every step landed upon the node best suited to crossing distance.
