Qin Siyang thrust out his spear.
Wind surged around him, and not a trace of Shen Shisong's presence remained.
The way Shen Shisong had died left Qin Siyang feeling utterly helpless.
He had intended to follow up with a killing move if the first strike failed, determined to slay Shen Shisong here.
But he had never imagined that Shen Shisong had no death-substitution skill, no means of saving his life, and not even a Life-Substitution Lamp.
He had reached sequence level eight, yet lacked the strength to match.
Mental-attack sequence ability users were supposed to be the hardest opponents for Qin Siyang to handle, yet Shen Shisong was as weak as a complete novice in everything from combat technique to judgment and experience.
Even without breaking through to origin sequence level three, Qin Siyang could have used his other means to take him down. After the breakthrough, it was even easier.
Qin Siyang could not help marveling at how vastly the strength of sequence level eight users could differ.
There were mighty commanders like Qin Yingguang and Chu Xiaoang, but also empty suits like those in Zone 1 and Shen Shisong.
He also took back his earlier belief that there were no weak opponents above sequence level seven.
"The world is vast, and anything is possible. The more I see, the more I realize nothing is absolute." Qin Siyang withdrew his spear and stood amid the gusting wind, murmuring to himself.
Just after Qin Siyang killed Shen Shisong, the eye of the phantom bird in the sky slowly closed again, fading into the sea of stars.
Qin Siyang watched the bird-shaped apparition in silence.
To him, the so-called [Eye of the Divine Crow] seemed more like a spectator. As for this supposed destiny, he paid it no mind.
His destiny
