Boom!!
The scimitar-like claws extended toward Chen Tianlin's head, about to seize it and crush it apart.
Yet a crushing pressure unlike anything Xiao Qingkuang had ever experienced left him unable to move an inch, as though time had frozen.
Even when Xiao Qingkuang mustered all his spiritual qi to resist, it was only a cup of water thrown on a blazing cartload of firewood.

"I told you! How could the man the Female Emperor chose be ordinary? He's been hiding his cultivation all along!"

They had to admit that they had indeed misjudged him back then.
Qin Xuanji's beautiful eyes remained fixed on Chen Tianlin. As though basking in a spring
