"Such shameless boasting!"
Ba Dashan sensed the fluctuations of Origin Force from Zhu Neng and judged that his cultivation was at the middle stage of the first grade, a minor realm below his own. His confidence swelled somewhat.
With that, he channeled Origin Force into both palms and launched himself at Zhu Neng.
Zu Qingyan turned his gaze toward Chen Shi'an, calculating inwardly. With their side outnumbered, should he capture the king first to catch the bandits, taking down Chen Shi'an before anyone else?
But Chen Shi'an saw through his thoughts and said with a slight curl of his lips, "Alchemist Zu, your opponent isn't me. It's her."
As he spoke, he pointed at Liu Qingyi.
Zu Qingyan hurriedly turned his gaze toward Liu Qingyi, looking a little surprised.
Originally, he had assumed that the delicate-looking Liu Qingyi was Chen Shi'an's maid, someone who served tea and water and warmed his feet and bed.
Then Liu Qingyi smiled sweetly. "Please instruct me, Alchemist Zu."
With that, fluctuations of Origin Force surged across her body, revealing her cultivation at the late stage of the second grade.
Zu Qingyan's eyes narrowed, and his expression grew distinctly solemn.
Zhu Neng and Ba Dashan had already joined battle. Liu Qingyi wasted no more time either, launching herself at Zu Qingyan.
Chen Shi'an stood to one side with his hands behind his back, watching as though from atop a fortress wall.
Chen Shi'an had never had the chance to see Zhu Neng and Liu Qingyi fight an enemy. Today was the perfect opportunity to see their strength.
Liu Qingyi in particular possessed the Fire Crow Body. He wondered how strong she was in combat after practicing the Great Sun Heaven-Burning Palm.
"Stay farther away from the carriage. I'll need it later, so don't break it,"
