From the very beginning, killing Jade Dipper had never been difficult for Xu Taiping.
The difficult part was erasing him completely from this world.
For as long as he resisted, not only would countless spectating cultivators within the Immortal-Subduing Formation be killed or wounded, but he would also have a chance to send out the half-immortal inheritances he possessed.
