Fourth Brother died at the hands of the Qin Family?
That couldn't be, could it?
The scene was long, flashing past moment by moment, leaving their hearts almost unbearably cold.
Even though they hadn't believed it at first glance, as the scene unfolded, they became more and more certain that the killer had been a member of the Qin Family.
The sword art had been honed to the utmost, and the Metal Attribute cultivation technique was executed with peerless mastery. The killer's strength wasn't actually much greater than Fourth Brother's, but he'd kept Fourth Brother firmly on the back foot—and in the end, killed him with a single sword strike.
