Chapter 706: It’s Hi was happening Lan Jue never looked back Just as it seemed her strike would land he thrust his hand back her way

All of a sudden the wo vortex open up in front of her The Disciplines-forged daggers she prided herself in fell into chaos and its energies scattered She reacted by urging her Discipline forth, but no matter how hard she called for her powers it was like some deep dark sea drank it all up Then, an unseen concussive force blasted her off her feet She tumbled head over heels down the hallway and, just before hitting the ground at her general’s feet, some invisible force eased the impact No harm cae in again when the harsh words of her superior stopped her dead “Enough You’re noeasy on you”

For aaround, she fixed hi and his brother had already walked a good distance down the hall toward the conference roohtful expression
