At these words, Hang Xie froze on the spot, every trace of color draining from his face.
"Master, I don't want to die."
He knew perfectly well that Absolute Slaying Emperor was preparing to abandon him.
Giving him all those treasures had merely been a means for her to buy herself a chance to escape.
"If you don't die, then I will..."
"And don't think so highly of yourself. No matter how much you've been altered, you still carry the filthy bloodline of the Vast Cosmos Great World. Did you really think I regarded you as a personal disciple?"
"You were nothing more than a chess piece in my hand."
With that, Absolute Slaying Emperor struck out fiercely, forcibly sending Hang Xie hurtling toward Sword Shatter Emperor's terrifying attack.
She herself turned and flashed away...
"Ah..."
Hang Xie's scream came from behind her, along with the sound of all those treasures exploding.
Yet Absolute Slaying paid it no mind. Her power erupted from her entire body as she seized this brief moment to break free from Sword Shatter Emperor's lock-on and assault.
At that moment, Hang Xie cried out in terror...
"Sword Shatter Emperor, don't kill me! I'm willing to join the Anti-Seal Faction..."
But before his words had even faded, his entire body had already melted away, taking the power of the fourth giant peak with it. Before his death, Hang Xie was filled with deep regret. Absolute Slaying Emperor had never regarded him as a personal disciple.
Absolute Slaying Emperor still ignored everything behind her and muttered to herself, "With only one giant peak left, along with Sword Shatter's own power, Sword Shatter has also expended enormously. I can definitely escape..."
At this point, Absolute Slaying Emperor was naturally already severely wounded as well.
But she was confident.
