Ji Ruyan had just stepped out of Ba Bao Zhai when a billowing cloud of dust approached from the distance, heralding the arrival of a crazed, black steed.
The deranged horse began to gallop wildly through the main street, knocking over many stalls and injuring people in its wake.
Seeing that the horse was about to charge into Ba Bao Zhai, Ji Ruyan watched the animal with displeasure.
If she didn't intervene, the rogue horse would cause even more damage to Ba Bao Zhai.
Comparatively, she just went ahead and took action.
With a mere flick of her hand, a gust from her palm turned into a wind blade that neatly severed the horse's head.
Blood sprayed everywhere, as the bystanders hastily dodged out of the way.
No sooner had the horse collapsed to the ground than a piercing female scream rang out, "Who has the audacity, after eating the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard, to slay my Black Rider? Show yourself!"
