Chapter 998: Chapter 997: Just as one should regard a man with a new eye after an absence of three days

Her opponent was wielding the Sky-shocking Hammer.

The head of the hammer weighed, at a glance, at least a hundred taels!

With the hammer’s weight plus her powerful Inner Strength, as it came with the wind, Chu Qianli clearly felt a chill envelop her like an all-encompassing net, dense and tightly knit.

She immediately raised her palm to meet it.

With a clang, the Sky-shocking Hammer struck her wrist and was sent flying by the Primordial Spirit of the Universe Chain on her wrist.

The robust woman flipped in midair, stabilizing her form, and after a fierce shout, the Sky-shocking Hammer once more hurtled toward Chu Qianli.

Chu Qianli had just been forced to retreat several steps by the force of the Sky-shocking Hammer, she looked up and saw the two silver lights pressing down on her.

Faced with such a heavy weapon, she had no prior experience in combat, save for when she faced Long Tianliu.

A short knife or long sword stood no chance against it, only solid Inner Strength could prevail.

She gathered True Qi in her palms and launched a double-handed strike, confronting it with brute force.

With a boom, the Sky-shocking Hammer was once again recoiled.

This time, the woman flipped but could not maintain her balance in midair and fell to the ground, driven by the force of the palm strike.

Taking several hard steps backwards.

She looked up just to see Chu Qianli’s figure also sliding back a considerable distance.

But she still stood firm and steady.

"What formidable inner power!" the woman said in a deep voice, as the Sky-shocking Hammer collided, resounding like a loud bell, deafening.

Chu Qianli hastened to protect her vital veins with her qi, but her blood still roiled somewhat from the earth-shaking sound.

Yet, her complexion did not change, and she appeared unharmed.

The woman’s brow furrowed, unable to discern if the sound of her hammer had any effect on her opponent.

Was there really no reaction at all?

"General Tan!" Wei Qiong, hearing the commotion, rushed out from Dawei Palace, stopping Tan Xu, who wanted to continue the attack, "General, listen to me!"

Hands behind her back, out of Tan Xu’s view, she gestured to Chu Qianli.

Without a second thought, Chu Qianli leaped up and turned to leave.

"Don’t even think about escaping!" Tan Xu tried to chase after her.

Wei Qiong grabbed her wrist, "General, this matter may not be as simple as it seems. I think... I think it’s best to make a long-term plan!"

"You!" Tan Xu glared at her. In just a moment, there was no sign of Chu Qianli in sight.

She actually let her get away!

"General, listen to me..."

Before Wei Qiong could finish, Tan Xu’s face suddenly changed, she opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The guards of Dawei Palace poured out.

Wei Qiong was somewhat shaken.

Chu Qianli’s martial prowess had reached such a formidable level.

Tan Xu’s Inner Strength was famously powerful.

Her Sky-shocking Hammer, throughout all of Longteng Country, very few could withstand!

To think, even Tan Xu had been injured by the Inner Strength of Chu Qianli.

"Should things change after three days," she mused, "one really must regard her with new respect. She is too powerful..."

Just now they hadn’t come to blows; had they actually fought, how could she have been a match for Chu Qianli?

"Someone come! General Tan is injured, get her back quickly! Hurry!"

Wei Qiong pulled Tan Xu, without a second thought, thrusting her into the hands of the guards.

Tan Xu almost spat blood again in rage.

This Wei Qiong was clearly helping Chu Qianli escape.

The Regent King had said she wouldn’t act against Chu Qianli due to their close friendship, and indeed, it was true.

Being supported by the guards, Tan Xu glared at Wei Qiong, gritting her teeth, "Wei Qiong, this general... will settle this score with you later!"
