The eight aliens exchanged looks.
They had been desperately pouring their essence into the formation eye just moments ago, only to watch Colin get cut in half at the waist by a single halberd strike, then drained into ash.
From the first strike to his final death, fewer than three breaths had passed.
A seventh-rank immortal.
Three breaths.
"Maintain the formation! Do not stop!" Roman roared.
But no one obeyed him anymore.
Morris was the first to flee. He shot backward, black-and-gold scales rapidly spreading across his body as he pushed his fifth-rank immortal essence to its limit and sprinted toward the spatial passage beneath the Council Building.
He did not get far.
Lin Feng emerged from the folds of space, appearing directly in front of Morris.
Phantom Stealth, silent and undetectable.
Morris's pupils contracted sharply. Before he could change his move, the Myriad Tribulations Heavenly Halberd came down on his head.

She looked down at her waist, sliced by space, and her lips parted.
Lin Feng raised his hand and pressed down, pouring in the Devouring Law.
