It was all over...
Huo Yuhao could rest in peace.
Dai Yuhao had been killed by his own hand.
There was no longer any chance of continuing the battle in the Star Dou Forest, and both sides tacitly called off their troops.
[Is Wang Qiu'er's soul still there?]
"It really is, Your Excellency Rus Wang. How strange."
Zhang Ruoheng even took a careful look at the fragment of Wang Qiu'er's soul inside the Soul Scroll. She had clearly put up the fiercest resistance, yet she was the only one who hadn't escaped from that Shattered Land.
[Maybe it has something to do with the Star Dou Forest. First, take the Spirit Bone connected to it.]
Zhang Ruoheng reached for the bloodied head and pulled the Three-Eyed Golden Beast's skull out of Dai Yuhao's head!
"All right."
Zhang Ruoheng looked at Dai Yuhao, whose heart and chest had been hacked apart by the greatsword and whose head had been severed and disassembled. Still uneasy, she took out a gas can, doused him with gasoline, and set him on fire.
Once he was burning, she picked up an Elf military-issue .50-caliber pistol and fired a few more shots into the thing's head before stopping.
"That should be enough, right?"
[Yeah... let's go.]
Rus Wang checked carefully. Unless those people up above had secretly kept fragments of Dai Yuhao's and the Soul Spirits' souls, all that remained was an empty shell.
Zhang Ruoheng kicked him again. Only after confirming that the thing was truly motionless did she leave, glancing back every few steps.
A long while after Zhang Ruoheng had left, two battered figures entered the battlefield, where the fighting had already ended.
"Huo Yuhao!"
Seeing Dai Yuhao's ghastly state, Ah Yin was overcome with grief. She hurriedly smothered the flames with dirt.
