Xu Lu got up from the ground and slowly walked towards Cao Ji with quiet steps.
The music cultivator grinned cheekily as the saintess approached her and plucked another string on her zither.
A harsh but melancholic sound echoed through the air as she watched the saintess come closer and closer.
"Wow… I never expected that… arghh!" Cao Ji's voice cut off as Xu Lu's hand shot forward and wrapped itself around her throat.
It was a move that was completely unexpected.
Xu Lu did not use any techniques or secret martial arts. She merely used her enhanced strength to slowly crush the arrogant female cultivator's windpipe.
"Help… help…" Cao Ji tried desperately to shake off Xu Lu's hand but it was no use. The saintess' hand was like an iron grip.
Shen Guo and Fu Qiu were motionless in shock while Lin Kun rushed forward and tried to break up the situation.
