Teacher Xun, always refined and quiet, finally unleashed his Chivalrous Spirit without restraint in the last moment of his life.
He knew exactly what his choice meant.
This time, he would not return.
But he understood the value of his death even better.
This time, he had finally found the enemy's lair. For all these years, the enemy had scurried from hiding place to hiding place, always lurking in the darkest corners, beyond discovery.
So many people had wanted nothing more than to kill them, only to give up because they could not find them.
Teacher Xun had found the enemy's lair.
Years of planning, years of scheming, had finally borne fruit.
Teacher Xun had discovered where these rats in the gutters were hiding. From this moment onward, he turned himself into a raging flame that would never go out.
Like an undying lighthouse in a dark harbor, its presence could be seen by passing travelers with a single glance.
This was a Beacon.
A Beacon made of blazing fire!
Man and corpse looked at each other. Lin Feng could confirm that this female corpse was the Grand Artificer, but he could not ascertain her condition.
The Grand Artificer in the Memory Fragment, so certain of victory and privy to every secret, seemed utterly disconnected from the female corpse before him.
The Flame around Lin Feng transformed into a manifested avatar.
The Talismanic Seals and Calamity Hound formed from Flame connected to the qi channels of Mount Tai, constantly strengthening the space between Lin Feng's brows.
Within the gaze of the eye between Lin Feng's brows lay—
"Body-Fixing Technique."
Between his brows, there was something else as well, indistinct and on the verge of emerging, but still missing that final little push.
