nA parallel was created between his brows and the sword. Everyone felt as if the tip had already struck their forehead, drilling a hole inside to end their life.

n

nThey felt how fatal it was even before the actual delivery - the target was already dead before the thrust - completely impossible to dodge.

n

nNot only did the emperor have a humble appearance, even his sword hid its sharpness and glint.

n

nBoth gave off the feeling of returning to simplicity and the source, enough to cause others to shudder.

n

nA sword returning to simplicity was something to behold - its existence only had one sole purpose - to kill!

n

nThe emperor finally made a move, neither fast nor slow and devoid of thunderous explosions and aura - just a thrust straight at Li Qiye’s forehead, simple to the point of being boring and tasteless like water. The only goal was to kill.

n

nA few spectators thousands and thousands of miles away fell down with a small wound on their forehead. They were too immersed in this move and ended up becoming its victims.

n

n“Impressive indeed, this murderous thrust.” An Everlasting couldn’t help but praise.

n

nThe other Everlastings also thought about whether they could survive this move.

n

n“Clank.” The crowd felt cold after hearing a continuous sword hymn.

n

nTime came to a stop - they saw Li Qiye stopping the fatal thrust with his index fingertip.

n

nThough it was only a slight touch, it felt as if the entire world was pressed down on the sword with an immeasurable weight.

n

nThe emperor found it hard to just hold the sword despite mustering all of his strength into his grip. His face turned red as a result.

n

n“Boom!” Li Qiye then flicked his finger in a casual manner yet it sent out enough force to send three thousand worlds flying - the same with the emperor.

n

n“Boom! Boom! Boom!” The guy smashed through several mountains, causing debris and mud to splash everywhere.

n

nHe got up from the pile and vomited several mouthfuls of blood, grievously injured.

n

nThose experiencing Li Qiye for the first time couldn’t keep their mouth close from awe. Even the ones used to it still became shocked.

n

nTrue Emperor Bachi obviously stood no chance against Li Qiye. However, to lose to a single finger flick?

n

nThey became afraid and felt their heart beating faster in fear.

n

n“I’ll spare you.” Li Qiye looked at the bloodstained emperor and moved forward.

n

nMeanwhile, Flying Sword Marvel has been watching the whole thing. She started running deeper while shouting: “Save me!”

n

n“Creak…” A carriage drew closer from the distance.

n

n“It’s Luminous Master’s carriage, is he in there?” A spectator shouted.

n

n“Hmm…” The ancestors became serious.

n

nAll eyes were on this carriage, wanting to know who was currently inside.

n

n“Sis, save me!” Flying Sword Marvel hurriedly rushed over, thinking that her rescuer had arrived.

n

n

nHowever, the person inside didn’t come out; the door remained closed.

n

n“Sister!” The marvel shouted again after seeing this.

n

n“It’s Creek King.” People exchanged glances.

n

nA few were disappointed to find out that Luminous Master wasn’t here. However, if his wife was here, he should come soon as well - this made them excited again.

n

nLi Qiye was getting close now with a smile on his face.

n

n“Sis, please save me!” The marvel panicked more and more.

n

nAlas, no response came from the carriage.

n

n“Sis… save me… we’re from the same clan…” The marvel got on her knees and sobbed.

n

nEveryone started wondering about what Creek King would do. Many knew that they were from the same clan and were quite close.

n

nWould Creek King just watch?

n

n“Sister!!” The marvel was crying her heart out.

n

nFinally, a sigh came from the carriage. Creek King finally responded: “Look at what you have done…”

n

n“Sister!” The marvel became ecstatic, thinking that it was going to be okay.

n

nOn the other side, Li Qiye stopped and simply watched these two.

n

nThe crowd thought that this was to be expected. Even the wise Creek King still needed to save her clan sister. Her hands were tied.

n

n“I’m afraid I can’t help you this time.” Creek King spoke again, surprising everyone in the process.

n

n“What?!” Many thought they have misheard.

n

nThe marvel’s smile became frozen, shocked. She then wailed again: “Sister, we, we grew up together, I always viewed you as my role model…”

n

n“I know, but your mistake is too grave. You didn’t think about the sect either. You’re no longer a child and need to take responsibility for your own actions.” Creek King answered.

n

n“Sis… I won’t do it again so...” The marvel shouted.

n

n“Remember, you are a disciple of Purification Creek. Stop acting so shamefully like a coward. Die with dignity.” Creek King interrupted her.

n

n“Sister, you can’t do this, just, just save me this once!” The marvel’s soul nearly left her body and hastily begged once more.

n

nNo response came this time from the carriage. The area became silent outside of her cries.

n

nThe audience definitely didn’t expect this and knew that it was over for the marvel since Creek King refrained from joining in.
