บท 192: Chapter 190: After 14 minutes, he moved. _1

"Boom!"

The Seventh Elder stepped on Ah Si's foot, only half a meter away from Fang Ren, yet Fang Ren sat where he was, calm and composed, his gaze still fixed on the Cold Fire at the bottom of the Pill Furnace, as if he hadn't noticed any of this at all.

In fact, as soon as Ah Si had approached, Fang Ren had sensed the Seventh Elder's impending action through the changes in soul force, so he hadn't taken Ah Si seriously.

Moreover, even without the Seventh Elder's intervention, Ah Si coming over to cause trouble would have been a complete exercise in futility; Fang Ren could have simply intimidated Ah Si into wetting himself with a single glance, or subdued him on the spot with soul force until he fainted.

There was no need to exert any True Qi or for him to physically intervene because apart from being an Alchemist, Ah Si was nothing more than an ordinary human, and any slight malevolence from Fang Ren was enough to crush an ordinary person's psychological defenses.
