At that moment,
Zhongxuan Zun, clad in a white garment purer than snow, locked eyes with Chao Yu, whose long hair was tied back.
Chao Yu's blade was still hidden behind her, as if it had never been unsheathed. A flash of confusion in her eyes betrayed her surprise; she had not expected her concealed blade technique, perfected over ten years, to be blocked.
But her body reacted before her mind could, and she sprang back with haste.
Shock flickered across Zhongxuan Zun's eyes as well—he had not anticipated that this seemingly unremarkable female general from the ranks could unleash a slice powerful enough to penetrate his life-saving Divine Skills.
Yet his response was quicker.
With a clench of his five fingers, an overwhelming suction force instantly pulled Chao Yu back to him.
And once again, he grabbed the Solar Disc without hesitation, slamming it viciously into Chao Yu's forehead!
Amidst bloodspray, Chao Yu was flung outward, her body cast aside.
