Chapter 582: The Furnace Changes
With Lie Qi's death, the killing momentum across the outer perimeter of Lingxiao Peak's core battlefield eased for a brief moment.
Whether they were Lingxiao Upper Sect experts or Ghost Witch Sect and Jinting experts, every pair of eyes drifted from the corners to that spear pinning Lie Qi's corpse, and to the figure standing in the air above.
That had been a Grandmaster Rankings expert.
One of the foremost figures in all of Northern Cang.
A person of that caliber, even in death, should have died in an equally matched struggle at the highest level. How could they have been slaughtered on the spot, in so crushing a fashion, by a young man?
Countless people felt their scalps prickle, and the gaze they turned on Chen Qing changed.
Not far away, Li Yujun was supporting the gravely wounded Shen Qinghong. They watched this scene, and both of them stood rooted to the spot.
Li Yujun had already prepared herself to stake her life and step in at any moment.
But she could never have imagined that in the span of a few breaths, Chen Qing had cut down Lie Qi, the man who had left her with no ability to fight back whatsoever.
