The blade passed through Songshi's body without the slightest resistance and sank into the ground.
The ground immediately shook with a dull thud.
Amid the trembling of the surrounding ground, Songshi's body vanished with a pop, like a soap bubble.
Qin Ran frowned.
In his Perception, the moment the greatsword came down, the other party's presence had already disappeared.
Now, there was not the slightest trace of her aura.
