The old man had white eyebrows and a white beard, exuding an aura of ancient martial arts and immortal grace.
Yes.
The old man had a face of a Xia countryman.
It was only his pair of sapphire blue eyes that gave him a touch of foreignness.
His face was solemn, with dark currents surging in the depths of his eyes.
The immense aura he exuded made the surrounding innate realm experts dare not approach.
And just then.
The old man suddenly opened his eyes, his body trembling violently.
A mouthful of blood gushed from his mouth.
"Mr. Bobby!"
Kelson was startled by the commotion and exclaimed.
His sapphire blue eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
In his eyes.
Mr. Bobby was the strongest person in the world.
He had never seen Mr. Bobby injured or at a disadvantage!
But, at this moment...
Mr. Bobby hadn't done anything yet.
Why did he suddenly spit blood?
The old man, addressed as Bobby, clutched his chest and raised his wrinkled hand, wiping away the sweet, bloody taste from his lips little by little.
His sharp eyes gleamed with a hint of icy keenness.
Leaning on Kelson's arm, he slowly pushed himself up.
His gaze, like venom, fixed unblinkingly on the doorway.
"Mr. Bobby, what, what is happening?" Kelson could feel Bobby's weight pressing down on him as he leaned.
Clearly...
Mr. Bobby could no longer support his own body.
Bobby's face was a little pale: "The person who came... is not easy to deal with."
"The old gentleman's intuition is sharp, deserving of a reward."
A lazy, enchanting voice echoed in the eerie silence.
Immediately, a beautiful woman in black combat attire, with her hair tied in a high ponytail, entered the room.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Firearms were aimed at the woman.
Yet, the woman's face remained adorned with a dazzling smile, her meticulously drawn eyes curving slightly upwards, forming a captivating arc: "Kelson."
She spoke, her gaze fixed on the man: "Are you going to come with me obediently, or... shall we fight?"
Kelson's eyes were sharp, yet also filled with disbelief.
He looked at Bobby, then at the woman.
There was no one behind her.
Mr. Bobby had just said...
There was only one person who came.
She had entered his territory all by herself.
Facing the dark muzzles of guns, she showed no emotional fluctuation.
So arrogant, so confident, so bright and flamboyant.
"Guard!"
He shouted loudly.
From the group of bodyguards, twenty innate realm experts surged forward.
Their auras blazed, their eyes sharp, assuming attack stances against Ming Zheng.
"Fire!"
He bellowed again.
All the bodyguards aimed at the woman and pulled the triggers...
"Wait!"
Mr. Bobby shouted sharply.
After roaring, he began to cough uncontrollably.
A few more wisps of blood escaped from the corners of his mouth.
But, it was too late.
Some bodyguards had already fired.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The bullets flew.
Ming Zheng maintained her smile, showing no reaction to the bullets.
With light, careless steps, she walked towards them.
The bullets, just as before, froze in mid-air.
Then, they turned into lightning, shooting back.
"Dodge!"
Bobby's eyes widened, and he forcefully pushed Kelson aside, lunging forward.
In front of him, as Ming Zheng approached, the innate realm experts shielded her.
Bobby pushed aside a few innate realm experts.
With a surge of his palm,
An invisible wave of energy instantly formed a barrier, blocking the innate realm experts.
"Ah!"
But the bodyguards nearby were not so lucky.
As many bodyguards had fired,
That many bodyguards lay on the ground.
And Bobby, standing in front of the innate realm experts, stumbled back two steps.
Blood continued to pour from his mouth.
"Who... are you!"
When did Xia country have such a powerful woman?
Their country, Piaoguo, had received no information at all!
Bobby supported himself, his eyes fixed on Ming Zheng's face, as if trying to uncover some secret.
"Xia country is full of hidden talents, and there are many people stronger than me, old sir, why be surprised?"
Ming Zheng raised her slender finger and pointed at Kelson: "I want him, let's finish this quickly."
It was almost three in the morning.
Get the job done early.
Go home, get into bed, and sleep.
"Impossible!" Bobby said with a cold face, looking at the arrogant woman before him, "Young lady, I advise you not to think that just because you have strength, you can do whatever you want."
He announced his identity: "I am the Vice Hall Master of the Star Hall, and these people are all powerhouses from the Star Hall."
He glanced around at the surrounding innate realm experts.
A triumphant, cold smile appeared on his face: "Now, you can indeed kill all of us and take Kelson, but... are you sure you can withstand the retaliation from the Star Hall?"
Star Hall?
It sounded a bit familiar?
She thought about it.
But apart from it sounding familiar, she couldn't recall anything else.
Never mind.
No matter where the retaliation came from.
She had nothing to fear.
Ming Zheng said a faint "Oh."
Then she twisted her neck, cracked her fingers, and said, "So, old sir, you're not cooperating. In that case... I'll have to take action."
After speaking.
Her fiery red lips curled, and her long eyelashes blinked lightly: "After all, we Xia people value speed and decisiveness."
The next second.
The woman moved!
In front of everyone's eyes.
"Bang!"
No one saw what happened.
They only heard the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground.
Then, the old man in the dark satin robe was sent flying backward, crashing into the wall.
He then slid to the ground, unable to get up again.
And the woman stood beside Kelson.
With one hand around Kelson's neck, she pushed him back onto the sofa.
...Because people from Piaoguo were quite tall.
Ming Zheng was too lazy to raise her hand, too lazy to tilt her head up.
It was troublesome.
She preferred to have a commanding view from above.
"Mr. Kelson!"
The innate realm experts' pupils widened, unable to believe their eyes.
This woman...
How strong must she be.
To have heavily injured the Vice Hall Master Bobby, without them being able to react.
That was... their Vice Hall Master!
He was already a powerhouse who had achieved Qi Induction and officially became a cultivator thirty years ago!
And they, after all, were also innate realm experts!
Yet, before this woman.
They were like ants.
Completely powerless to resist!
Their gazes towards Ming Zheng were filled with deep fear.
They hadn't felt this kind of fear for a very, very long time.
"Click!"
Suddenly, Kelson, who was being held on the sofa, twisted his wrist.
A handgun slid from his sleeve.
He chambered a round and directly aimed it at Ming Zheng's head.
The distance was very close.
His sinister face contorted into a cruel grin: "At a distance, you can use your spiritual energy to form a barrier and block those bullets."
"But... up close."
"Can you still gather your spiritual energy in time?!"
He tilted his neck, looking at the woman's stunningly beautiful face: "Do you want to try, whose is faster, my bullet or your spiritual energy?"
