An hour earlier, above the Imperial City, the storm roared and lightning flashed.
A streak of light shot forth from above the southern gate of the Imperial City, merging into the clouds, with thunder and brilliant lightning flashing all around it.
Several miles later,
This streak of light gradually came to a stop.
Ahead of it, the vast expanse of dark clouds was cleaved open by Sword Qi, forming a huge rift across the mountains, with countless Sword Qi swirling and converging to block the path of the light.
"Master Li, tonight's storm is severe; you should not have ventured out,"
A clear, cold voice resounded from above the sky.
The Floating Cloud Sword Formation resonated with the lightning,
"I, Li Chen, already knew that traveling tonight would not be smooth,"
The light dissipated.
Li Chen held his horsetail whisk, his voice calm.
He gazed at the swirling Sword Qi in the distant sky, chuckling, "Little girl, do you dare to block my path alone without summoning Qi Lie?"
