The General’s Genius Daughter

Hua Qiyue was too lazy to spend time fighting with this man. This man was the Eighth Palace Leader, neither too weak nor too powerful. If they fought in the ordinary way, they would expend a long time to fight.

Besides, he was the Eighth Palace Leader. If she could kill him in 10 moves, then…

She would stun everyone!

One must know that many Qi Artists coveted her Drunken Flower Fan. If she had brandished it, she would draw the attention of the Dark Sect… but surely they knew how powerful she was?

Therefore Hua Qiyue did not have a qualm. She coalesced the anima energy on her right middle finger and parted her lips lightly. ”Deity-slaying Finger!”

Puff! A strong anima energy instantly condensed into a streak of sword light, shooting out at her opponent!

Lan Luo knew that Hua Qiyue was someone at the great completeness of Round Sun. He did not dare underestimate her. The light ball from his palm hurtled toward her, clashing with Hua Qiyue’s Deity-slaying Finger!

Boom—

With a muffled boom, their Qi Arts had canceled out each other!

Lan Luo took one step back. When he saw Hua Qiyue standing rooted to the ground, he was quietly astounded. It looked like Hua Qiyue was even more powerful than she had appeared on the surface.

”Celestial-slaying Finger!” Hua Qiyue gave a cold bellow. Lan Luo instantly began to guffaw. ”Hahaha, another of your old move! Hua Qiyue, don’t you have some other lethal skill? Well, well, I’ve expended only 60% of my powers with that move…”

Lan Luo began to guffaw smugly. As he laughed, he casually executed another move.

He thought that Hua Qiyue’s Deity-slaying Finger was similar to her Celestial-slaying Finger.

Unfortunately, Hua Qiyue’s finger gleam soared toward him, piercing through his Yang-slaying Palm wantonly!

Pfft—

A soft noise. Hua Qiyue’s Celestial-slaying Finger had hit Lan Luo’s arm, inflicting him with a severe, throbbing pain.

Lan Luo was taken aback. He immediately coalesced his anima energy to shield his body, blocking the destructive power outside.

”Heart of Fire!” Hua Qiyue gave a light cry. Her hands condensed the anima energy of the heaven and the earth into a burning sea of fire. As Hua Qiyue’s strength intensified, the power of her every lethal skill also increased exponentially!

Fire! A boundless, raging fire crackled and lurched toward Lan Luo!

The crowds started to shout and disperse. Although Hua Qiyue’s opponent was not them, they could still sense its earth-tremoring power!

The air previously frozen by Lan Luo’s chill suddenly became scorching hot. Xuanji and the rest had to protect their bodies with anima energy to prevent any injuries!

”Ah…” Lan Luo was instantly surrounded by Hua Qiyue’s Heart of Fire, his whole body almost beginning to burn.

His mop of disheveled hair started to frizzle, blazing in the blue fire.

A huge terror overwhelmed Lan Luo’s heart. Hua Qiyue must have withheld some of her strength. But why was her power so terrifying?

It was clear they were of the same level. Yet the pressure and power Hua Qiyue put on him seemed several levels higher!

When he realized that his handsome face was almost burned, Lan Luo started to growl loudly and impracticably, ”Hua Qiyue, I admit defeat, I do! Quick, stop!”

As he said this, he tried to summon his anima energy to protect his body. ”Instant Freezing— Ice Rain Blossoms!”

The anima energy summoned by him instantly turned into a shower of ice, immediately quenching Hua Qiyue’s fire.

Lan Luo’s black robe was burned into tatters by the flames. The two maidservants and four sedan-bearers all stared at him with widened eyes. Looking at the sorry state of their Palace Leader, they could not quite believe their eyes!

After all, Hua Qiyue looked like a young woman. Even if her Qi Art was very powerful, they could never have imagined such a superficially weak and gentle woman beating their Palace Leader into a pulp.

”Hua Qiyue, you’ve won. Goodbye!” Lan Luo knew full well that he was not her opponent. He tried to escape with his unique footwork. Instead, Hua Qiyue gave a light smile.

”Well, aren’t you inviting me into your sedan for a chat?” Hua Qiyue’s voice was tender and melodious. She made the lascivious Lan Luo’s heart skip a beat, looking into her lovely, watery eyes.

However, the moment Lan Luo looked into Hua Qiyue’s eyes, he found himself unable to move at all. He seemed to have entered into a massive dreamworld, with scorching heat everywhere. He was frantic with anxiety, but he could not walk out of the imaginary scene imposed by Hua Qiyue!
