He Qingyu's cultivation reached the mid-stage of the fifth tier of Qi Absorption, equivalent to that of the Lotus Lord, but not on par with Yintong. Therefore, with the superior killing move, Shi Xiaole was not at a disadvantage.
Indeed, if the difference between each level of the Qi Absorption Realm is not massive, Shi Xiaole should critically injure He Qingyu with his lethal power.
"You really are full of surprises."
He Qingyu's face was as grim as still water, her voice sounding like it was being squeezed through clenched teeth.
He had tried to overestimate Shi Xiaole's power, but it seems he had still underestimated him. Compared to his evident potential, those Four Outstanding Youths might only be worthy to polish his boots.
"The feeling is mutual."
Sheathing his sword, Shi Xiaole carries his left hand behind his back. Right hand brandishing his sword, makes all the experts step back, not daring to intercept his imposing momentum.
