Several people from Xuangang Sect watched in stunned disbelief as their companion was killed with a flick of the finger. Their eyes fixed on the enormous hand suspended in the air.

"That... How could this happen!? Senior Brother Xia was in the late Body Integration Stage, and he was killed with such ease, from a distance, by a flick of the finger!"
