Chapter 95: Yet She Was the Big Shot

Tianxin Ji looked at them without moving.

Since Tianxin Ji did not move, for some reason the two of them also stood frozen.

Perhaps it was one of those cases where the enemy does not move, and I do not move?

But when they finally came to their senses, they felt a little foolish.

"You two can't beat me," Tianxin Ji said with plain honesty, as a friendly warning.

Though Ye Ling and Yan Xu did not want to lay a hand on a little girl, they had no choice now but to use a little force.

"Little brat! Don't make things difficult for us!" Ye Ling said coldly. Raising a hand, she reached toward Tianxin Ji in a gesture that clearly meant to teach her a lesson.

Tianxin Ji's brows drew together. She had not moved at all, yet a powerful aura suddenly burst from her body, transforming into a razor-sharp surge of force that flung the two of them several yards away!

In that instant, it was as if countless blades had burst forth from the void. The chill of it pierced to the bone, as though plunging into an icy abyss.

Centered on Tianxin Ji, a layer of nearly invisible dust trembled in the air around her, as if shaken by the currents of the atmosphere, swirling and circling about her.

And this was something the naked eye could not see at all.

After flying several yards, the two of them rolled midair before landing.

When they looked at Tianxin Ji again, their expressions were filled with terror.

What on earth was going on?

Could this little girl actually be a martial artist?

"Impossible. She has no cultivation at all," Ye Ling said tightly, clutching her chest. At this moment, all she felt was lingering fear and dread, her body even trembling.

"Could it be..." Yan Xu's expression turned grave as well.

Ye Ling knew what he wanted to say and cut him off at once, denying it. "Have you ever seen a seven-year-old master at the Return-to-Truth stage?"

Did that even need asking? Who had ever seen a seven-year-old baby be a master at the Return-to-Truth stage?

So that possibility was immediately ruled out.

But if not that, then what in the world was going on?

Tianxin Ji had not used lethal force; she had merely repelled them casually, so the two of them were not seriously injured.

"Try again and you'll know," Yan Xu said, exchanging a look with Ye Ling. The two of them immediately leaped forward and charged at Tianxin Ji once more!

Tianxin Ji frowned slightly and exhaled two indifferent words: "Troublesome."

Now that she had just finished eating, Tianxin Ji was always even lazier than usual.

However, this time she did not need to lift a finger, because an even stronger surge of force had already crashed violently into the two of them.

"Ah!!"

Both of them cried out in pain.

That force was like a thunderclap, suddenly slamming into them and instantly sending the pair flying back again.

And this time, unlike Tianxin Ji's earlier pushback, the strike was clearly far more vicious, so much so that when the two hit the ground, both spat out blood.

"As students of Wind-Riding Academy, to bully an unarmed child in secret... how truly impressive," came the slow, cool, and slightly mocking voice of a youth.

The two who had fallen to the ground turned their eyes toward the newcomer.

There, a figure in dark robes descended slowly beside the child, clad in ink-black brocade as though blending into the night itself.

Only the silver-white mask on his face gleamed in the darkness.

From his voice, the youth seemed to be about their age.

But...

How could he possess such profound cultivation?

The two had been shaken into internal injuries by that force and were clutching their chests as they glared coldly at the black-clad youth before them.

If it was him, then it was obvious that the one who had acted before had been him as well. It had nothing to do with that child at all.

Tianxin Ji glanced sideways at the person beside her.

The person beside her lifted a hand to pat her head and said gently, "I'm here."

Tianxin Ji: "..."

Clearly she was the big shot; she could take on a whole group by herself.
