Liuli Buddha asked again, his confusion deepening. He knew virtually every powerful figure in the Primordial World, but he had never seen the person who had appeared before him.
He was not the only one baffled. Countless people in the Heavenly Court were just as confused.
Ruthless stopped and ignored Liuli Buddha's question. Instead, she turned toward Ren, whom Yunxiao was tending.
She strode back to Ren and watched him gradually recover. "You're still too weak," she said flatly.
Yunxiao, who was looking after Ren, studied Ruthless up close. No matter how she looked at her, Ruthless seemed mysterious and exerted a weighty pressure.
Lying in Yunxiao's arms, Ren gave a bitter smile. "He's a Quasi-Saint, and I'm only a Golden Immortal. The gap is too great. How was I supposed to fight him?"
Ruthless glanced at Liuli Buddha. "Picking on the weak. Buddhism has always been like this."
Her words left Liuli Buddha seething in the distance.
Then Ruthless's gaze fell on Lingji Bodhisattva, who was protected by the Seven-Treasure Wondrous Tree. "What about him?"
"He's Lingji Bodhisattva of Buddhism, a Daluo Golden Immortal," Ren said. "He's far beyond me too..."
Before he could finish, Ruthless unleashed the Flying Immortal Art!

The attack struck the glowing Seven-Treasure Wondrous Tree. It shook, exposing Lingji Bodhisattva beneath its protection.
The instant Lingji Bodhisattva appeared, Ruthless pointed a finger and barked, "Heaven-Slaying Dao!"
The Dao seemed to condense into a sword that slashed straight at Lingji Bodhisattva!
The strike was so fast that Liuli Buddha could not react in time to save him!
