Jiangli's swipe sent blood spilling from both of Mu Feng's eyes.
That single blow left Mu Feng's face a bloody, mangled mess.
"Jiangli, what are you..."
Bu Er and Jiang Zhizhou stood a little farther away. By the time they recovered their senses, Jiangli's claw had already struck.
Even Yang Qing, who stood closest to Jiangli, had not expected it to injure Mu Feng without warning.
