The Chen Family's Ancient Mansion had almost completely collapsed long ago from Chu Sheng's thunderous strike.
Amidst the ruins.
Gu Yuexi stood before Chu Sheng.
She wielded a longsword condensed from Mental Power, her eyes as cold as frost. The aura radiating from her was so potent that even Li Zhantian, a God of Slaughter at the Peak of the Emperor Realm, felt an instinctive chill run down his spine.
She was clearly only Fourth-Grade, yet as she faced Li Zhantian—a man at the Peak of the Emperor Realm who had carved a path through mountains of corpses and seas of blood—her presence didn't falter in the slightest.
In fact... it even seemed to be suppressing his!
'How is this possible?!'
A storm of disbelief raged in Li Zhantian's heart.
'He didn't know why, but when he met the young woman's icy gaze, he instinctively felt... a hint of fear?'
'No, was it... reverence?!'
