Chapter 28: Reaching the Bronze-Red Realm in Two Months?
Before County Princess Yunhe's words had even faded, Sun Ninghu moved.
He lunged like a tiger unleashed from its cage—without warning, fast as lightning.
Two thick arms thrust out from his sleeves, his ten fingers slightly splayed like tiger claws. With enlarged knuckles and bulging joints, his hands resembled iron tongs as they snatched toward Chen Lingxi's left leg.
The grab held no flashy technique, yet it carried an overwhelming, destructive savagery.
Spiderweb fractures splintered the bluestone bricks beneath his feet. He charged like a tiger descending the mountain, ferocious and unstoppable.
A sharp wind struck his face. Chen Lingxi's pupils shrank. Tapping his toes lightly against the bluestone, he glided backward several feet, barely evading the claw.
Sun Ninghu's brow furrowed as his grab caught empty air, and his second claw immediately followed.
This time he aimed for Chen Lingxi's right leg. The movement was even faster than the first, his five fingers tearing through the air with sharp whistles, like an iron plow raking through frozen earth.
Mid-retreat, Chen Lingxi abruptly changed direction, folding his body to the right. Sun Ninghu's claw-wind scraped past his trouser leg, tearing a gash in the fabric and scattering cotton wadding.
