However.
By the time they noticed, it was already too late.
In the pitch-black night, Anfu and Chen Yi's eyes had long since adjusted to the darkness.
The sudden explosion of Primordial Power from Chu Qingyun's body momentarily blinded them.
Anfu, in particular, only saw a black glint flash through a blinding burst of light. Then, a sharp pain shot through his head, and he instantly lost consciousness.
Three meters was simply too short a distance.
Just before, Anfu had been mobilizing his Primordial Power, completely focused on suppressing the Fire Poison within him.
When Chu Qingyun suddenly used the Thrusting Sword Technique, even a ninth-level Martial Spirit like him had no way to dodge. He hadn't even managed to summon much Primordial Power to defend himself.
With a single strike, the sword pierced Anfu's head, finishing off the ninth-level Martial Spirit!
