“This guy’s attack can actually pierce through my iron sand!”
Thinking this to himself, Feng Wu instinctively tried to dodge Yan Qi’s attack.
Unfortunately, due to the distance and timing, it was impossible for him to avoid Yan Qi’s strike.
With Yan Qi’s lightning-imbued attack piercing through the seemingly dense ring of iron sand around Feng Wu, it struck his body directly.
Feng Wu felt a wave of intense pain and numbness throughout his entire body, and the next second, he collapsed to his knees on the ground, gasping for breath.
“Dammit, what kind of superpower did you use that can penetrate my iron sand wall?”
Looking at Feng Wu, now kneeling on the ground and significantly weakened, Yan Qi was surprised he could remain conscious and speak after taking her most powerful offensive Daoist technique. She couldn’t help but think to herself,
“I never expected my current combat strength to be unable to easily defeat a Two-Star superpower user. It seems I need to train even harder in the future. Otherwise, when will my main body ever catch up to the strength of my transformation cards?”
After her internal monologue, Yan Qi turned her attention back to Feng Wu in front of her. Remembering the question he had asked earlier, she saw no need to hide anything and replied.
“I just used a little Thunder Art.”
“Thunder Art? A superpower that releases lightning?”
Hearing Yan Qi’s reply and recalling the electric sparks flickering on her hands when she attacked him, the kneeling Feng Wu couldn’t help but ask.
To this new question from Feng Wu, Yan Qi quickly shook her head and answered.
“No, the Thunder Art isn’t a superpower that releases lightning. More accurately, it’s a special Daoist technique that converts the magical energy within a person’s body into something dangerous, like lightning, with the purpose of causing massive destruction.”
“Daoist technique? What’s a Daoist technique?”
Hearing Yan Qi’s answer, Feng Wu, now with even more questions, pressed further.
“A Daoist technique is a type of superpower that not many people have tried using yet.”
Yan Qi looked at Feng Wu, explaining without a trace of impatience.
Getting his answer from Yan Qi, Feng Wu lowered his head in thought for a moment. While secretly moving his hands behind his back, making small gestures, he looked at Yan Qi and asked another question.
“A superpower not many have tried using? Hmm, I see. So, little brat, what do you plan to do with me?”
“What do I plan to do with you? Of course, turn you over to the Special Affairs Bureau. And let me remind you, stop making those little moves behind my back. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee you’ll be delivered to the Special Affairs Bureau in one piece.”
Hearing Yan Qi’s words, Feng Wu, who was just gathering his superpower to find an opportunity to take Yan Qi down, broke out in a cold sweat. The hand behind his back immediately stilled.
“How did you know I was making moves?”
Not understanding how Yan Qi, standing not far away, had detected his secret actions, Feng Wu couldn’t help but ask, puzzled.
In response, Yan Qi just offered a faint smile and said nothing. Instead, she turned her head to look towards someone who had been hiding in the shadows behind Feng Wu.
Noticing Yan Qi’s gaze shift away from him, Feng Wu knew this was a good chance to subdue her, but for some reason, he had a strange premonition. He felt that if he dared to attack Yan Qi now, he would be dead and buried the next second.
“Strange, why do I have this weird feeling? Even though this little brat’s superpower is quite powerful in a way, she shouldn’t pose such a great threat to me.”
Just as Feng Wu was puzzling over this strange premonition in his heart, the Daoist Empress, transformed into Yan Qi’s avatar, emerged from the shadows at the other end of the alley.
After the appearance of Yan Qi’s avatar, the Daoist Empress, almost everyone present showed expressions of astonishment. After all, they had never seen such a stunning beauty in their lives.
Hearing his lackeys’ exclamations of surprise and recalling Yan Qi’s earlier gesture of looking up, Feng Wu, who initially hadn’t realized her action was deliberate, immediately connected the dots.
Then, to confirm his suspicion, he struggled to turn around and look in the direction of the Daoist Empress.
He immediately recognized the Daoist Empress’s identity and understood why his lackeys had cried out in surprise.
Looking at the Daoist Empress not far away and remembering his earlier bad premonition, Feng Wu’s expression showed sudden understanding.
But then, as if thinking of something, he looked at the Daoist Empress and asked, somewhat uncertainly,
“So that’s it. No wonder my instincts told me not to make a move. But, the legendary Daoist Empress, why are you here?”
Looking at Feng Wu, now kneeling on the ground and having lost most of his fighting capacity, Yan Qi, controlling her Daoist Empress avatar, replied.
“I received a call for help from someone I know, so I came.”
“You received a call for help from someone you know? So you know this little brat.”
Understanding the surface-level relationship between Yan Qi and the Daoist Empress, and having the last of his confusion cleared up, Feng Wu showed a look of realization and instinctively said.
Hearing Feng Wu’s words, Yan Qi didn’t let her Daoist Empress avatar continue this useless conversation with him. Instead, she pointed at Zhao Jing nearby and said to Feng Wu,
“Alright, let’s stop there. Please remove the iron sand from this young man. Although I could remove it myself, it wouldn’t be as effective as you doing it directly.”
“Hmm, I understand. I’ll remove the iron sand from him now.”
Knowing his strength was insignificant before the Daoist Empress, Feng Wu, being pragmatic, didn’t dare disobey her command. After speaking, he immediately began dissolving the iron sand on Zhao Jing’s body.
Watching the iron sand that had been restraining him, preventing free movement, suddenly dissipate, Zhao Jing, finally restored to freedom, couldn’t help but show an expression of joy on his face.
