"Neither of you will escape, either!"
A pair of black wings suddenly appeared behind Song Wen.
With a beat of his wings, Song Wen shot after them.
At the same time, two bolts of purple lightning tore through the air, hurtling straight toward Xie Daxiao and Evil Second Owl.
Both men controlled their flying swords to block the lightning, but dividing their attention slowed their escape considerably.
The black sun came bearing down again, sweeping toward Evil Second Owl.
Evil Second Owl had already exhausted every means at his disposal to disperse the purple lightning. Now he had no strength left to withstand the Nine Calamities Measuring-Heaven Sword.
The black sun struck him, and he immediately followed his third brother to the grave.
All color drained from Xie Daxiao's face.
"Fellow Daoist Yan'e, there must be some misunderstanding between us! Please stop for a moment and hear me out..."
Song Wen paid him no heed.
Surging blood waves, the Soul-Slaying Spike, the Nine Calamities Measuring-Heaven Sword, and purple lightning all came flooding toward him.
Xie Daxiao resisted with everything he had, his flying sword conjuring countless sword shadows. Yet he could not hold out for even a single breath before the blood waves swallowed him.
The blood waves swept through the area, devouring every last trace of lingering blood essence and soul fragments before surging back into Song Wen's body.
Song Wen flashed over to the Heart-Demon Flower, thrust his hand into the rock around its roots, and pulled it out, rock and all.
He took out a jade box and put away the Heart-Demon Flower, then returned to the pit through which Guang Xing had escaped.
In the rock beneath the pit, the traces of Guang Xing's aura had almost completely dissipated.
Song Wen activated an eighth-tier Earth-Escape Talisman
