The sight at the edge of the horizon was warped by the rising heat haze.
The expressions on everyone's faces were as strange as could be.
Their gazes shuttled back and forth between the young girl standing with her sword planted in the ground and the mangled demon corpse on the sand.
Shi Langjiang desperately looked around in every direction.
He seemed to be trying to find the shadow of another peerless expert on this empty stretch of Gobi.
Otherwise, this was simply too unbelievable!
This was a Core-Formation Great Demon!
Even if the Grand General had come in person, he would probably have needed to put in some effort.
How could it have died here so silently?
And at the hands of a little girl who looked no older than seventeen or eighteen?
Could it be...
That this demon had already been badly injured, and the girl had merely picked up the spoils?
Very possible!
At that thought, he let out a breath of relief.
As for Jiang Yuechu also being in the Core Formation Realm...
Heh.
What a joke.
If this girl really was in the Core Formation Realm, then he, Shi, would kneel right down and call her mother.
Wei He silently dismounted, said nothing, and walked over to the broken corpse of the ape demon.
He crouched down and extended two fingers. First, he examined the fatal wound at the corpse's throat, then pinched up some bloodstained sand and gently sniffed it at his nose.
Very fresh.
It had clearly died only moments ago...
He slowly rose to his feet, turned around, and fixed his gaze on Jiang Yuechu's face.
"Did you kill it?"
Jiang Yuechu cupped her fists. "By luck."
"..."
By luck?
Those two words plunged the scene into silence.
Wei He said nothing.
