Chapter 200: Delivering a Gift
Seeing this, a flash of shock crossed Hu Rui'an's eyes. He had not expected that bolt from Cheng Zhong's mouth to be so powerful.
And at the very same moment that Cheng Zhong launched his sudden attack on Hu Rui'an, Wu Shang on the other side moved almost simultaneously, driving a bolt of sword light with the force of thunder straight at Shen Anran's throat.
Shen Anran's martial cultivation was inferior to Wu Shang's, and she had been attacked with no warning whatsoever. However, the Deer Slaughter Blade Art she practiced was one of the top-tier blade techniques of the martial world, and after Li Musheng's earlier guidance her blade path had advanced considerably.
She therefore managed, narrowly and in desperate haste, to slash out a single cut, which was just enough to deflect the sword slightly off course, and she herself moved aside with great speed, barely avoiding the killing blow.
Even so, though Shen Anran dodged the thrust, she was still caught by the reverberating sword energy, which sent her tumbling and spinning through the air.
Just as she was about to crash into the ground, a hand settled against her back and caught her steadily.
Shen Anran turned her head and saw Li Musheng standing behind her, "Your Highness..."
But before she could finish, both her palms suddenly drove outward with tremendous force.
In an instant, a terrifying wave of True Qi like a mountain collapsing into the sea erupted without any resistance straight into Li Musheng's chest.
