Lan Jue didn’t ed at hi Each one of thelinted in the light as they surrounded the Monarch He had nowhere to go

“Assassins are the absolute worst,” Lan Jue sneered A h the air like sacks of grain Golden electricity crackled across their bodies, causing the reduced to ash

Redbeard, a few steps behind, stopped dead in his tracks He was amazed by what he’d just seen He was no slouch in his Discipline – ninth level fifth rank! The , too Tere over ninth level, and the rest were no less than eighth They were his closest people

Those four were quadruplets, very rarely seen Each of them shared the saers The four of thes

Redbeard couldn’t feel any hint of Discipline from Lan Jue, and yet he’d witnessed his people incinerated With a wave of his hand, four powerful Adepts saw their defenses overcome and their lives snuffed out, effortlessly He’d never seen anything like it
