Nan Shuang took a few steps back, her red lips parted slightly, as if she was about to say something.
At this moment, Shen Tan's body trembled violently, and an invisible force slowly lifted him up until he was airborne.
In an instant, his body shone brightly, and endless cold air raged out, freezing the surrounding air instantly.
Countless icicles roared out of his body, intersecting and radiating a dazzling light that was impossible to look directly at.
As the icicles appeared, Shen Tan's previously shocking injuries healed rapidly, and the skin at the wound sites regained its vitality, as if he had never been injured at all.
His aura underwent a dramatic change at that moment; his previously weak aura suddenly surged, and his cultivation level continued to rise.
A hint of surprise flashed in Nan Shuang's beautiful eyes, and she stood there stunned.
Shen Tan stood in mid-air and roared in a booming voice, "Nan Shuang! Prepare to die... Hah!"
Before he could finish speaking, a horrifying bloody hole suddenly appeared on his forehead, and crimson blood splattered everywhere.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound. Nan Xunran slowly withdrew her hand, which was still surrounded by powerful spiritual energy that had not yet dissipated.
Shen Tan's body instantly lost its support and plummeted straight down from mid-air, crashing heavily to the ground with a loud thud.
"Ding-dong!"
[The Child of Destiny, Shen Tan, is dead.]
[Heaven’s Mandate Points Reset to Zero]
[Host's Kill Points increased by 208,721 points]
Nan Wang couldn't help but chuckle. He clapped his hands as he laughed, "One strike and you're dead! No wonder you're Little Xunran!"
Qin Xizhi stared blankly at Shen Tan, who was no longer alive. Tears streamed uncontrollably down her cheeks, and blood foam kept gushing from her mouth, mixing with her tears in a shocking sight.
The Qin Clan patriarch stood frozen to the side, his lips tightly pressed together, not daring to utter a single word.
He knew perfectly well that even if his daughter died here, or even if he, the head of the family, died, no one would care.
He glared angrily at Shen Tan's corpse, his heart filled with resentment.
If it weren't for him, how could the Qin Clan have fallen into such a desperate situation? It wasn't enough that the Shen Clan was wiped out; they also had to drag the Qin Clan into the abyss.
At this moment, Wei Yan had no time to attend to the Qin Clan's affairs.
She frowned, her fingers gently touching her chin as she pondered to herself: Originally, she had planned to save Nan Shuang, but now that A-Ran had come on her own, she had no chance to show her abilities.
As she was thinking, her gaze inadvertently fell on Qin Xizhi, and her eyes lit up.
Qin Xizhi and Shen Tan have a close relationship, so let's use her to curry favor. Whether she's useful or not, let's kill her first.
So, Wei Yan, sword in hand, walked steadily toward Qin Xizhi.
Seeing this, Nan Wang leaned close to Nan Xunran and whispered, "Little Xunran, what's going on with her? This shouldn't have anything to do with the Wei Clan, right?"
Nan Xunran shook her head slightly, without saying a word.
On the other side, Wei Yan did not hesitate at all. He thrust his long sword forward and instantly pierced Qin Xizhi's heart.
Immediately afterwards, she gently twisted her wrist, and the long sword was pulled out of Qin Xizhi's body. Then she turned around and strode towards Nan Xunran.
However, she suddenly stopped, sensing an unusual presence behind her.
She turned around abruptly, her pupils shrinking instantly. She saw that Qin Xizhi was holding a long knife, and was stabbing at her with a resolute, death-defying posture.
At that moment, a throwing knife flew in and pierced straight through Qin Xizhi's palm, causing the long sword to fall to the ground.
The throwing knife returned to Nan Shuang's hand in the blink of an eye. Nan Shuang said expressionlessly, "I'm returning the favor I owed you."
Wei Yan looked at Qin Xizhi again and saw that she had completely collapsed on the ground, barely clinging to life, and her body had swelled up considerably.
Qin Xizhi's heart was different from ordinary people's, so Wei Yan's seemingly fatal stab did not hit her vital organs at all.
With Nan Shuang's flying needles around, she wouldn't have survived anyway, so she desperately tried to take one away, but ultimately failed and has now completely lost the ability to move.
Wei Yan flicked his wrist, a flash of sword light, and Qin Xizhi was instantly reduced to a pile of flesh, dying completely.
"Ding-dong!"
[Qin Xizhi, the Daughter of Heaven’s Mandate One, dies due to the death of her host]
[Heaven’s Mandate Points Reset to Zero]
[Host's Kill Points increased by 107,590 points]
Wei Yan slowly raised her hands and clapped them gently; the crisp sound suddenly echoed in the silent air.
Immediately afterward, several dark figures flashed out. Wei Yan's expression was cold. He gently waved his right hand and slightly parted his lips. "Kill them all."
"Yes, Vice Master!" the shadowy figures replied in unison.
In an instant, they vanished like shadows blending into the darkness, their movements stealthy, leaving only a faint rustling of wind.
Wei Yan straightened her back slightly, took light steps, and walked gracefully towards Nan Xunran.
When she reached him, she bowed slightly and said softly, "Divine Son Xunran."
At this moment, Nan Shuang Nan Wang stood side by side, blocking Wei Yan's path.
Wei Yan tilted her head slightly and leaned forward, saying, "I have something to tell you."
Nan Xunran raised her eyes, her lips moved slightly, and she uttered a single word. "Okay."
