As Su Ling launched herself at Elder Qing, fueled by a surge of determination, she aimed to strike him. However, her attack was swiftly intercepted by a powerful slap from Elder Qing. The sheer force of the blow sent her flying through the air, crashing into a nearby tree.
In the aftermath of the collision, Su Ling attempted to rise to her feet, but the effects of the devastating slap still lingered. Blood trickled from her ear, evidence of the tremendous power behind Elder Qing's strike. Disoriented and in pain, Su Ling struggled to regain her composure and continue the fight.
"Hey, now that I think about it," Elder Qing taunted, a sneer on his face. "You're just like your mother—clumsy and naive. Always trusting people and believing in their lies. Look at your precious friends, the ones you escaped with. As soon as danger appeared, they ran away and left you behind."
