Heart Gouged Out, Bi Gan Dies

The instant the dagger sank into flesh, a seven-colored radiance suddenly burst from his chest, dazzling and brilliant.

Strangely, not a drop of blood seeped from his chest. Only that seven-colored light grew ever more resplendent.

Bi Gan's face was instantly drenched in cold sweat. His brows knotted tightly, his teeth clenched, and his entire body shook violently. Clearly, he was enduring pain beyond compare.

The Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart was a spiritual treasure of heaven and earth, closely bound to his soul. The agony of carving out his heart was a hundred, a thousand times worse than any ordinary fatal wound.

Enduring the piercing agony, Bi Gan suddenly drew the dagger in his hand with force. A gash nearly ten centimeters long instantly opened across his chest.

Within the gash, a seven-colored heart giving off a soft halo beat slowly. It was the legendary Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart. Every vein upon it was clearly visible, brimming with boundless spiritual energy.

He drew a deep breath and, trembling, reached into his own chest. The moment his fingertips touched that warm, seven-colored heart, his body convulsed violently once more. Yet he did not hesitate in the slightest and yanked hard.

He forcibly tore the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart from his own chest.

"Hngh—" A muffled groan of agony escaped Bi Gan's throat. His face instantly turned as white as paper, and his aura became feeble beyond measure. Yet his back remained straight, and he did not fall.

The torn-out Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart still shone with brilliant seven-colored light, spiritual energy swirling around it and illuminating the entire hall.

At the sight of that heart, wild delight flashed through Di Xin's eyes, and he could not help bursting into laughter. His voice brimmed with excitement and relief. "Hahaha! Good! What a Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart! Royal
