"Junior Brother, join me... kill her!" Xiao Lei said calmly.
Chen Yu froze.
At those words, his mind raced.
Xiao Lei was at the second layer of Foundation Establishment, while Xiang Baiwei was at the ninth layer of Qi Refining. The gulf between their strength was enormous. Killing Xiang Baiwei would be effortless for Xiao Lei, yet she was asking him to work with her.
