The Elder gazed at Xuefeng in shock and reached up to touch his cheek. The scratch has already healed with his passive regeneration, but the crimson blood was still present. He rubbed the blood between his fingers and finally decided to bow.
"I apologize for offending you, Sir. I will take my leave now," the Elder replied politely and walked out from the restaurant. As soon as he disappeared from Xuefeng's sight, the Elder's face grew serious and pale.
"What kind of speed was that…?" the Elder wondered out loud while trying to recall Xuefeng's attack. "Not only was it fast but it even broke through all my defenses… I need to warn the Queen…"
The moment he felt Xuefeng's claw on his face and tried to react, Xuefeng was already gone, sitting at his seat as if nothing happened. If Xuefeng wanted to kill him, he would be dead before he even realized it. They were definitely dealing with someone from Beyond the Heavens.
