"Riding the Wind with Empty Hands!"
At the very front was Wang Teng of the Wang Family, one of the Central Imperial Capital's three Star-Martial Prodigies.
At this moment, his movements were incredibly swift. A faint cyan airflow seemed to swirl around his body. It resembled Lin Yuan's Gale Step somewhat, but was clearly faster and far more profound.
