But she had only just stepped forward, her foot not yet touching the ground, when she witnessed a sight that left her dumbstruck.
Ye Qingcheng simply stood where she was, doing nothing.
Those six men were instantly torn apart and slammed into the ground, dead beyond all doubt.
"..." Xiao Yuning was shaken to her core. She could scarcely believe it.
She had known Ye Qingcheng was strong, but never imagined she would be this powerful.
"All right, forget about them. Let's keep going." Chen Mu waved a hand.
The corpses and blood alone burst into roaring flames.
The dry leaves beside them remained completely untouched by the fire.
A Saint Body?
And the heaven-burning saint body, one of the ten supreme saint bodies, at that!
Before Xiao Yuning could recover from the shock Ye Qingcheng had given her, Chen Mu's casual display of earth-shaking power stunned her all over again.
She became even more convinced that Chen Mu had an extraordinary background.
A supreme saint body, a Sword Dao Grandmaster as his bodyguard—he must have a Great Emperor backing him!
"I'm sorry for causing you both trouble." Xiao Yuning bowed in apology.
"It's fine." Chen Mu told her not to take it to heart.
"May I ask how you killed those villains without even moving?" Along the way, Xiao Yuning approached Ye Qingcheng to seek her guidance.
After hearing Ye Qingcheng explain the principle behind it, her expression grew even more astonished. She had never imagined Sword Qi could be used like that!
No wonder someone about her own age could become a Sword Dao Grandmaster. There was a reason for it.
"Speaking of which, who were they? Why would they risk offending Li Xuanyuan just to kidnap you?" Chen Mu asked.
"Allow this old man to explain that!"
