Up on the curved clay tiles of the courtyard roof, Night-Crow Leader Ying Sha , holding Rank 5 Peak, and his forty-nine Rank 5 High assassins lay frozen in sheer, mind-numbing terror!
Every single one of these Night-Crow killers was between fifty and eighty years old. They had spent half a century licking blood off their blades and consuming mountains of poisonous pills just to crawl into Rank 5 Foundation Establishment.
Yet right below them on the moonlit lawn stood four children aged seven, eight, ten. Eleven wearing fluffy animal pajamas—and the four pillars of Rank 5 Foundation Establishment Spiritual Qi radiating from their small bodies were ten times purer, denser. More terrifying than any Rank 5 Peak elder in the Four Righteous Sects!
“S-seven years old... a seven-year-old girl in a pink bunny pajama suit just broke through to Rank 5 Early Foundation Establishment. That eleven-year-old boy in the glasses jumped straight from Rank 4 Peak to Rank 5 Mid in one breath?!”
One of the Night-Crow assassins on the roof tile trembled so hard his poisoned dagger slipped out of his sweaty fingers—only for him to frantically snatch it back in midair. He remembered that the seven-year-old girl down there ate Rank 5 daggers like pretzel sticks!
