The moment Lin Qian's words fell, a figure suddenly appeared beside the three entangled with Hua Ling. With a short dagger in hand, it swept across the neck of the Hude Clan Leader, who had the strongest defense among them.
In Ji Qing's hands, it seemed to be a plain and unadorned short dagger.
But the power of that strike was terrifying. The sharp intent carried by the dagger, in just a turn, completely tore apart the barrier condensed by the Hude Clan Leader's Soul Energy.
At the same time, the Dao Intent surrounding the Hude Clan Leader was also thoroughly cut off.
This terrifying strike scared the Hude Clan Leader out of his wits, causing him to urgently erupt his Soul Energy, burning it as he scrambled downward, disregarding any sense of propriety or elegance—his only thought was survival.
Using this shameless method of escape, he barely managed to slip away to the side.
