Earth Master's cleverness had backfired. Not only had he failed to use his disciple to escape, he had been gravely injured and pushed into an even more dangerous situation.
Seizing the chance to beat a dog when it was down, Fan Lang appeared above Earth Master with a sword and saber in hand. They slashed down together, an evil dragon coiling around the saber while starlight flickered upon the sword.
Pfft!
The sword and saber struck together, cutting Earth Master into three pieces. His severed body continued taking damage; he was as good as dead.
Earth Master screamed again and again, making a complete spectacle of himself as he struggled one last time.
"No, this old man doesn't want to die yet. Don't kill me! As long as you spare me, I'll do anything! I can surrender, I can give you all my possessions! I can even serve you like an ox or horse and become your slave! If you don't trust me, you can poison me or control my primordial spirit!"
Earth Master begged frantically, to the point that he was starting to ramble incoherently.
When death came knocking, some Martial Gods could face it calmly, while others were even more cowardly than mortals.
"Too ugly." Fan Lang revealed a look of disgust. The sword and saber in his hands slashed down mercilessly again, finishing Earth Master off completely and sweeping all the treasures he had dropped into his possession.
Earth Master had died miserably. Even his head had been split in half, and his aged, mangled face kept opening and closing its mouth, as though he still wanted to say something.
How could the rewards for killing an Upper God like Earth Master be few?
The next moment, a string of system notifications erupted!
