BOOM—
A colossal roar echoed through the sky.
A deafening sonic boom, carrying a powerful shockwave, swept out in an instant. Watched by a crowd whose gazes were a mixture of astonishment, confusion, and doubt, Chen Che and Yu Zhen clashed and immediately separated. The Little Chick beneath Chen Che's feet spread its massive wings, arresting their violent retreat against the powerful gale.
"Haha, Chen Che, you little brat! You knew all along, didn't you?"
Yu Zhen stood firm in mid-air, batting away the fierce winds with a gentle swing of his Duster. He held the Jade Ruyi in one hand and laughed heartily. "To think you managed to hide your true strength all this time. If you'd actually managed to fool us, you might have really gotten away today."
"What's going on?"
Fan Sulan frowned, her expression a mix of shock and suspicion.
The other Golden Core cultivators also looked baffled.
