Boom...!!
After one slash erased every trace of Zhechen's existence from these heavens, Xu Taiping's remaining blade force seemed to run out of control, sweeping mightily outward from where Zhechen's body had been annihilated.

After standing stunned for a long while, Jiang Fu hurriedly sent a voice transmission:
