The sword drew an arc as natural as the floater in a gentle streaantly as the winter snowflake, and as aloofly as the tall, unyielding mountain

This attack seemed as simple as any other attack he had ever performed, but it contained some beauty and profoundness that not many would be able to understand

The lion was a rare talent from the Golden-Furred Blood Lion's faical beast How could it possibly understand the profound mysteries behind the sword stroke that Xu Min unleashed?

Although it wished to avoid it, it could not It was as though the world around it had locked the lion in on the i attack It was impossible to move and, with fear in its eyes, it could feel how the sword slowly sunk into its body before its soul itself dispersed Finally able to leave this God forsaken Blood PaGoda, it could once more enter the circle of reincarnation

”You have defeated the trial that has forcefully been placed upon you Do you wish to continue onwards or leave this Blood PaGoda? If you wish to continue onwards, you have a y”

The previous haughtiness in the voice had vanished Instead, it was rather soe in tone and nodded his head without opening his eyes
