♂,
The Qingping Sword turned into a beam of green light and shone down from the sky. Everything its light touched dissolved into nothingness. My eyes widened, but all I could see was my master in his Daoist robes, his head held proudly high as he smiled at me and Senior Brother Yan, who had just arrived, before disappearing into the boundless green light.
Tears streamed down Li Taichong's aged face. Whether they would meet again after reincarnation or not, these old monsters had already lived for hundreds of years. They had long since come to terms with such things and did not dwell on them. What remained was mostly the pain of parting.
With my master's death, the battered Lesser Immortal-Slaying Formation Disc reverted to its original form and fell toward the ground. Li Taichong reached out and caught it, shaking his head with a bitter smile. Perhaps he felt that this was all he had left to remember his senior brother, Li Taigan, by.
Bathed in the green light, the old immortal let out an agonized scream. Green smoke rose from his entire body as he slowly disappeared within that terrifying radiance. Yet just as we were all staring dumbstruck at the sight, he suddenly roared and sent a sword flying toward Li Taichong!
Though Li Taichong had been on his guard, he had not expected such an abrupt strike. Still, he was a seasoned veteran of countless magical battles. The Daoist sword in his hand shot out and collided head-on with his opponent's blade!
A deafening crash rang out, and both swords vanished into the green light that followed. Li Taichong sighed. Next, the old immortal would be destroyed within that light. An ordinary cultivator at the Spirit Transformation stage would have disappeared long ago!
Boom!
