Chapter 218: Leaving First
In an instant, a gale swept through the hall like a crashing wave, and every trace of True Qi within the entire room condensed together in that moment before crushing down toward the Falling God Peak group.
Every table and chair in the hall, and the landscape screen standing nearby, were reduced to powder in an instant, and the entire Hundred Fragrance Pavilion shuddered from the force.
An elderly man at Zheng Zi's side let his eyes grow sharp, and immediately drove a punch forward, a burst of violet fist light pressing out a curved arc of True Qi that blocked every inch of the incoming attack.
But at that very moment, Zheng Zi, whose expression had remained calm throughout, suddenly said in a low voice, "They are trying to escape. Stop them."
At the same time, the hemp-robed elderly man, having sent his palm out, had already seized the little girl beside him and vaulted through the window, disappearing from the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion in a flash.
The elderly man who had thrown the punch saw this and answered at once, then without hesitation immediately gave chase in the direction the hemp-robed elderly man had fled.
But the moment he took his first step, the large men lying on the floor where the hemp-robed elderly man had sent them flying were quietly stirred by a thread of True Qi energy.
In an instant, a dense crackling of collapsing bone rang through the air, and the bodies of the large men suddenly imploded inward like air leaving a deflated bladder, and then erupted with a thunderous blast.
Their shattered bones became razor-edged projectiles, and the blood leaving their bodies vaporized in an instant into a blood mist, which under the drive of powerful True Qi wove itself into a crimson web of lethal force that engulfed the entire space where Zheng Zi and the others stood.
