A figure stood silently on her path, their face hidden, robes billowing around them.
Lin Ruxue unconsciously tightened her grip on her sword scabbard.
The figure strode forward at a steady, unhurried pace.
Yet an invisible pressure bore down on Lin Ruxue, so immense it was hard to breathe.
She watched as the man slowly raised his palms. Strands of True Qi, drawn from every meridian in his body, rose methodically and transformed into illusory chains that coiled around his arms.
As dusk fell, he looked like a judge stepping out of the Netherworld, forcing Lin Ruxue to retreat. Her expression shifted, her heart filled with utter shock:
'Anning County...'
'How can there be a genuine Qi Cultivation Grandmaster here!?'
A Qi Cultivation Grandmaster is a Martial Arts Grandmaster who has opened a Qi Sea and stepped into another realm of cultivation.
The term Martial Artist, by contrast, implies a common brute who practices the Martial Dao—it's a rather crude term.
