The old man turned toward the capital, taking a single moment before bursting into speed.
He didn't hold back at all, his body becoming a dark blur.
To his surprise, when he glanced to the side, Qingyi was there, easily keeping up with him.
"Oh... interesting!"
The smile on the old man's face grew uncontrollably, and he moved a little more Qi towards his legs.
Immediately, his speed nearly doubled, the air in front of him exploding into a powerful shockwave.
"You're pretty fast for someone so old, huh?" Qingyi asked, keeping up with the old man again, as easily as before.
"Old? I'm in my prime, kid! Just... I've always been a warrior of strength, not speed." The old man turned his face away and turned up his nose.
There wasn't even much time to talk to Qingyi, with the high walls of the capital rapidly approaching on the horizon.
