In the southern border of Northern Zhou, above Ji'an Prefecture closest to Daqian, a fiery comet streaked across the sky.
Accompanying the fiery comet was a thunderous roar of anger.
"Ye Lingshuang, you thieving woman," the voice bellowed, "Purgatory Peak and the Yin Demon Sect are allies, not your servants. We choose our own alliances; how dare you accuse us of betrayal!"
"Since you're not our allies, killing you is justified."
A giant hand suddenly appeared in the sky, clearly formed from True Qi, yet it was delicate and smooth like the hand of a young lady.
This jade hand slapped down from the sky, smiting the Molten Fire Giant before it as if it were swatting a fly.
"Hiss—"
A grating sound echoed as the delicate hand, possessing unmatched strength, sent the Molten Fire Giant skidding along the ground, leaving behind deep scorched marks.
Eventually, it crashed into the Luoshui River on the border, instantly evaporating copious amounts of water.
