The Fifth Elder answered Chen Changan without the slightest hesitation, and Chen Changan acted just as decisively, immediately swinging his sword at the Fifth Elder.
Facing Chen Changan's sword, the Fifth Elder neither dodged nor flinched. He closed his eyes and quietly awaited death.
Everyone thought Chen Changan was testing the Fifth Elder, or that he simply lacked the ability to kill him.
Yet when the sword swept past and the Fifth Elder's body slowly faded into nothingness, everyone froze.

Chen Changan had actually killed the Fifth Elder just like that—and... he really had the power to kill experts of the Myriad Thousand Realm?
Hearing was believing, but seeing was knowing.

"You..."
Chen Changan's actions drew objections from a small number of people. After all, they had shared bonds with the Fifth Elder.
Chen Changan had long expected this kind of reaction, so he said coldly, "Do you think I shouldn't have killed him?"
"It's not that you shouldn't have. It's just..."
"You were too impulsive!"
"Couldn't you see? The moment the Fifth Elder was exposed, he had already resolved to die."
"I asked him a question just now, and the Fifth Elder answered without the slightest hesitation. Don't tell me you didn't hear him?"
Everyone knew what question Chen Changan had asked, and they also knew how helpless the Fifth Elder's answer had left
