Chapter 286: Transcendent Qing (23)
A sneak attack no one had expected.
And yet despite the surprise, the stronghold master had been killed in a single blow.
It wasn’t just the ambush—it was the brutality, the unrelenting precision, the sheer viciousness of her hand that stunned the crowd.
Silence dropped over the scene. The roar of the rain, long muted, suddenly rang loud in the quiet—until someone’s panicked shout shattered it.
“Shit! The young master!”
Oh? Look at that.
First thing they worry about is the young master.
Qing’s head snapped toward him.
Her gaze was murderous.
The man who’d shouted realized his mistake immediately.
If you’re guarding someone important, your first move should always be to extract them—quietly, discreetly—before doing anything else. Neutralizing threats comes second.
But this was still the Green Forest. No matter the rank or cultivation, bandits knew how to take. Not how to protect.
