The wedding was livestreamed by the sister, revealing his identity as a Taoist priest.

The half-step Ghost King sensed her.

A three-meter-tall shadow emerged from the sixth-floor wall, its massive body slowly descending onto the plaza.

His bloodshot eyes turned to Su Qingluan.

With a roar, black spiritual pressure swept over.

The ground was frozen, the trees were withered, and the nearest member of the Tian Shu team was directly crushed to the ground with both knees.

"Get out of here! It's out!"

The captain roared.

Su Qingluan stood still.

The dark red Taoist robe remained completely still amidst the spiritual pressure storm.

She tilted her head, looking at the ghost king with a faint expression.

It's like looking at an insect.

"You've come at the perfect time."

She raised her right hand, her five fingers spread.

A crimson-gold light surged from his palm, not just one, but dozens of rays.

The light transformed into chains, instantly piercing through the Ghost King's limbs, torso, and head.

The Ghost King froze in place.

It struggled.

The black mist surged wildly, and sharp claws tore at the chains, producing a grating metallic scraping sound.

The chains remained completely still.

Su Qingluan clenched her fist.

The chains tightened suddenly.

"squeak!"

The Ghost King's left arm was forcibly torn from his body.

Black mist gushed out from the broken opening, emitting a sharp wail.

The Tian Shu team members were all stunned and stood there.

Su Qingluan didn't stop.

She loosened her fist, then clenched it again.

Right arm, severed.

Left leg, broken.

Right leg, broken.

Look around.

Clean and efficient.

Like taking apart a toy.

The headless half-step ghost king was left with only a torso suspended in mid-air, the black mist contracting violently as if trying to reassemble itself.

Su Qingluan walked over.

Step by step, the hem of his dark red Taoist robe trailed softly on the broken ice.

She walked to the ground directly beneath the Ghost King's mangled body and looked up.

"Reorganization?"

She extended her index finger and touched the Ghost King's chest.

The crimson light burst forth from the point of contact, like a sun exploding inside the Ghost King's body.

It did not vanish instantly.

It's peeling away layer by layer, from the inside out.

The black mist was gradually swallowed up by the golden light.

The ghost king's wails grew sharper and more mournful, shattering all the surrounding glass at the same time.

Su Qingluan stood in the golden light, looking up as the black mist dissipated in pain.

Her expression remained unchanged.

ten seconds.

Twenty seconds.

Thirty seconds later.

The Half-Step Ghost King has completely disappeared.

Not even a trace of yin energy remained.

Silence returned to the square.

The ice shards began to melt, and the suffocating oppressive feeling in the air had completely disappeared.

Su Qingluan withdrew her hand.

I looked down at my fingertips.

The crimson-gold light slowly faded.

Then she turned around and walked towards the car.

She didn't even lift her eyelids when she passed by the Tian Shu team members.

"I'm gone."

This was said to Qingxu, who was standing next to the carriage.

Qingxu stood beside the car door.

His legs were shaking.

It wasn't an act; it was genuinely shaking.

He has lived for over a hundred years, witnessed the Celestial Master scattering lightning with a single finger, seen the Five Thunder Academy Ancestor splitting mountains and earth, and seen all sorts of famous scenes in the cultivation world.

But he had never seen anyone kill things in this way.

It's not a battle.

It's torture.

She tore apart a half-step Ghost King alive.

It was disassembled piece by piece.

Qingxu watched as Su Qingluan calmly opened the car door and got in, her movements elegant and her demeanor composed, as if she had just gone out for a walk.

He swallowed hard.

Celestial Master, oh Celestial Master, how much do you owe this girl?

Qingxu trembled as he sat in the passenger seat.

"Miss Su... are you alright?"

"fine."

"Um...did I go a little...overboard just now?"

Su Qingluan turned her head to look at him.

Qingxu immediately shut up.

"drive."

The car started and drove back onto the highway.

In the rearview mirror, the lights of Anping City grew farther and farther away.

The Tian Shu team members stood still, without moving for a long time.

……

Anping City.

Tian Shu detachment temporary command post.

The captain stood in the middle of the ruins, his communicator held up for three minutes, forgetting to put it down.

The teammate next to him opened his mouth.

"Captain... Captain, that woman... is gone."

"I saw it."

"who is she?"

The captain shook his head.

"have no idea."

He glanced down at the screen of the thermal imager.

The red heat source signal that had filled the entire screen has completely disappeared.

"Level A Weird..."

The voice of a young teammate next to me was weak and unsteady.

"An A-rank anomaly that even our entire team, plus the heavy psionic cannon, couldn't suppress..."

"She lasted thirty seconds."

Another team member squatted on the ground, holding his head.

"And she didn't use a weapon, she just used her hands."

The captain took a deep breath and pressed the communication button.

"Headquarters, Anping Squad reporting."

"The Class A anomaly has been eliminated."

"It wasn't us who cleared it."

He paused for a moment.

"External forces have intervened. It is a single individual, female, estimated to be in her early twenties, and her fighting style is... magic-based."

"Strength assessment..."

The captain was silent for two seconds.

"This exceeds all known assessment systems in our department."

……

The Ten Thousand Mountains, deep within the karst caves.

The fourth brother sat cross-legged on the edge of the stone platform, and suddenly his whole body trembled.

He suddenly opened his eyes, his face deathly pale.

"My Ghost King is dead!"

The temperature inside the cave plummeted.

The second son turned his head.

"What?"

"The one from the Anping direction."

The fourth brother pressed his chest, a trickle of black blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"The soul imprint is broken, completely broken; not even a trace of the soul has returned!"

The third brother emerged from the shadows, his brows furrowed.

"The Taoist sect has made a move?"

The second brother closed his eyes, sensed for a few moments, and then shook his head.

"My dog ​​is still here, and there are no abnormalities in the Changhe direction."

The fifth brother also opened his eyes.

"The Liangdu direction is also fine."

The three looked at each other.

Anping is dead, but the other two are fine?

"If it's someone from the Taoist sect making a move, they wouldn't just focus on one direction."

The third brother analyzed.

"If three of them approach at the same time, they should block them from three sides."

The second child was biting his nails.

"What was that? An accident?"

The fourth brother wiped the black blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with malice.

"What kind of accident could have wiped out my half-step Ghost King, whom I've raised for seven years, leaving not a trace?"

There was a few moments of silence.

The third brother made a decision.

"in spite of."

The second and fourth brothers looked at him at the same time.

"The loss of one is within budget."

"The remaining two continue to approach Jiangcheng."

"just in case……"

"I said, continue."

The third brother's gaze swept over everyone.

"This is a test, and the price of a test is death."

He walked back to the stone wall, sat down, and closed his eyes.

"Have Changhe and Liangdu speed up and reach the outskirts of Jiangcheng before nightfall tomorrow."

……

Jiangcheng, 100 meters underground.

Tian Shu Base, Monitoring Hall.

On the three large screens, three red dots were flashing simultaneously.

The one in Anping was destroyed.

Chen Feng stood in front of the screen, his right arm bandaged, his face ashen.

"Has the battle report from the Anping detachment been confirmed?"

Lin Xue nodded and brought up the file.

"Confirmed, the A-level anomaly has been eliminated in less than 30 seconds. External forces intervened, and the operation was carried out by a single person."

She turned to the next page.

"The Anping team took a blurry photo."

A frame appears on the screen.

In the darkness of night, a dark red figure stood amidst golden light, long hair flowing in the wind.

The image is blurry, and facial features are not clearly visible.

But you can feel that aura even through the screen.

Everyone in the meeting room fell silent.

Chen Feng stared at the photo, his Adam's apple bobbing.

"A single person instantly killing an A-level monster... What level is that?"

Lin Xue's voice was very soft.

"If the battle report is accurate... at least S-rank."

"S-rank?"

The voice of a staff officer standing nearby cracked.

"There are only three registered S-level ability users nationwide, and they're all based at the capital headquarters. Where did this girl come from?"

"Check her direction of travel."

Chen Feng turned around and strode towards the command platform.

Lin Xue's fingers flew across the keyboard.

They accessed the surveillance footage from the outer perimeter of Anping City and located the black minivan.

The tracking path extends across the map.

A straight line.

Coming from the direction of Tianyin Pavilion, heading towards Jiangcheng.

Lin Xue's fingers stopped.

"team leader."

"Her destination... is Jiangcheng."

Chen Feng's pupils contracted slightly.

"Calculated based on vehicle speed."

"I'll be there tomorrow."
