Blood mist swirled, thick as layer upon layer of gauze curtains, tightly shrouding the cave abode perched alone atop the mountain, leaving not a gap.
Deep within the cave abode, Qing Chen sat cross-legged, his figure steady as a boulder, an immensely dense killing intent lingering around him as though it had taken solid form.
