The Qi凝聚境 (Qi Condensation Realm) is not merely about possessing more solidified strength; it also signifies that one’s Qi has become condensed and unified, with the energy released in an instant being absolutely terrifying…
A mocking smile hung on Xiao Yufan’s lips. The Madman’s power seemed not quite worthy of his reputation. If it had been a few days earlier, the Madman—who had only been at the level of an Inner Qi expert—might have posed a threat to Xiao Yufan. But now, the Madman barely had the qualification to stand against him.
“Why?”
The Madman’s expression contorted slightly. This was the most embarrassed he had felt since reaching the Qi凝聚境. Due to his monstrous assassination techniques, he had once slain a Qi凝聚境 expert before. Yet now, facing Xiao Yufan, he was overwhelmed by an intense sense of helplessness.
“Because you simply don’t understand the essence of the Qi凝聚境. Therefore, your strength is destined to stagnate…”
Xiao Yufan naturally had no reason to hide anything from a dying man. Without deeper integration and refinement, even if this man had entered the Qi Gathering Stage, he was merely slightly stronger than an average person.
“You can only blame your bad luck. Remember, in your next life, don’t ever make my woman sad again!”
As the Madman hesitated, Xiao Yufan had already taken action. This was his first battle against someone at the Qi凝聚境 level, and he couldn’t help but feel a bit fearful in hindsight. If it hadn’t been for his unexpected breakthrough, the consequences this time might have been unimaginable.
The Madman’s pupils widened slowly. He felt his body stiffening. As a surge of inner Qi fiercely struck him, his gaze dimmed. He couldn’t understand how there could be such a huge gap between them.
Once again, he was sent flying backward, crashing heavily against a steel plate behind him. Drops of deep red slowly seeped out…
Jiang Ziyi, who had just walked out from behind, couldn’t help but frown slightly. However, Dongfang Yanran’s expression remained cold. The Madman’s life or death meant nothing to her, and in fact, this person deserved to die.
Finally, Dongfang Yanran’s mother shifted her gaze toward Xiao Yufan. Her confusion instantly turned into astonishment…
“This time, it has nothing to do with you. You were just dragged into it. Just be careful these next few days. I believe since they’ve lost one person, they generally won’t come back to Guan Gang again.”
Dongfang Yanran glanced at the graceful and noble Jiang Ziyi. A hint of tenderness briefly flickered across her stunningly beautiful face, but it vanished instantly. She had long been accustomed to living alone and had never relied on or trusted familial feelings.
“Yanran, you… couldn’t you just call me ‘Mom’ once?”
Looking at her daughter before her, Jiang Ziyi’s lips trembled involuntarily. Perhaps the biggest mistake she had ever made was leaving Dongfang Yanran back then. If not for that, at least she would still have a family member.
“I’ve never experienced a mother’s love, so how could I ever have a ‘Mom’?”
Dongfang Yanran moved closer to Xiao Yufan, tightly pressing her body against his. Her trembling frame revealed her inner unease. She was, after all, a woman with flesh, blood, and emotions. How could she possibly lack human feelings and emotions?
“Yanran, I know I was wrong, but I had my reasons for leaving back then. After so many years, can’t you forgive me yet…?”
Jiang Ziyi’s face bore a look of pain. If even her closest kin could not forgive her, how could she not feel heartbroken? Alone all these years, she had longed for Dongfang Yanran to be by her side.
“I’d rather be alone than forgive a mother who never gave me any maternal love…”
Turning around, Dongfang Yanran didn’t want this woman to see her tears, but at this moment, she really wanted to cry. Hearing those words, Jiang Ziyi paused, and all her words turned into a quiet sigh…
