41 Stupid Pig, Qingyu (1/2)

She could kill the head guard from a highly regarded general's manor, who had a grade level of 5. She could also take down personal guards of the same general, men who all had a least the grade level of 7. She hadn't had any issues while doing so, only using one move to kill them all. Besides, she had not been using any elemental power from what he had seen.

So just what was she?

”I-,” He wasn't even able to produce another sound before she slammed down on his chest with her right leg. Her heel dug into his skin, kicking out all his air. Perhaps he took too long thinking because, by the time he answered, Hongyue reached her limit.

The child fell back hard against the bed from her kick; his head knocked heavily against the bedpost. He hadn't even managed to recover from the sudden attack before Hongyue launched another one at his head. He quickly blocked her attack with his hand. Both of the two forces collided and rebound.

Hongyue stumbled back, clutching her injured hand.

Her eyes gleamed murderously.

Using both palms, she drew an arc around her, starting from her waist to above her head. Closing her eyes, she summoned the power of wind to come to her aid from her pearl. Her blue eye glowed almost to an icy white as she drew the arc. Immediately, the door and windows of the chamber rattled violently as the wind surged into the room.

As the wind rose around her, droplets of water carried in by the air formed sharp needles; all of which aimed at the figure sitting in shock on her bed. She stomped her foot, and her aura spread out rapidly covering a wide radius of the ground. A light blue mist started to surround the entire space. Quickly, wisps of the fog crept up and slipped into the child's body forcing the blood inside the child to lock him in place.

<Release>

As rune designs quickly formed within the space of the arc she drew, a magic circle promptly developed. The enchantment glowed a dull blue alike to her pearl, each rune line outlined in the aura before it roared out with power. An explosion of energy surrounded by electric sparks raced toward the child.

His eyes widened as the explosion hit him. His body flew back; the entire bed collapsed under the attack.

Hongyue huffed, a bead of sweat dripped down her jawline.

She didn't get off easy herself either.

Her lack of control over her body and power exhausted her soul. Hongyue glanced up, only to see the child getting back up bloodied and in agony. She didn't seem surprised. Just like she predicted, they were evenly matched. Both sides suffered greatly.

”You're still alive.” She stared blankly.

The child gashed his teeth angrily; he did not think she had so much power in that body of hers. Not to mention, he had no way to defend from her unusual powers at all. Even with his own power enveloping him during the attack, he had still felt the thundering energy coursing within his body and damaging his organs. His body was already injured, now he was suffering even more. He stared tensely at her. It looks like she held back considerably that night, so much, he underestimated her.

”You better watch yourself! You should pray I don't recover.” He growled.

Hongyue sneered. She wanted to say the exact same words to him. Once she recovered, he'll be the first to die, not her.
