It happened too suddenly!
Everyone stared at Murong Bai's corpse, dumbstruck.
He had been speaking just a moment ago, yet between darkness and light, his head had fallen, severed from his body!
Li Chonglou and Jiang Yuebai both jumped in fright.
Even Cao Jinxing was stunned. They really had prepared in advance!
Even Murong Bai, head of the Murong Family, who possessed the supreme defensive technique Xiantian Astral Qi and his family's Dragon City Sword Technique, had had his head taken in an instant.
He did not even seem to have reacted...
Cao Jinxing stole a glance behind him. The White-Browed Daoist and Xie Yunli looked equally shocked, but deep in their eyes lay utter indifference.
"Who was it?!"
Murong Hua flew into a wild rage. Cradling his son's corpse, he roared with bloodshot eyes, "I'll tear you to pieces! Tear you to pieces!"
True qi erupted.
Dust swirled through the passage.
Loose stones rattled down!
"To assassinate someone and escape unscathed in such a short time-the attacker's strength is unfathomable!"
Zhao Xizhen's expression was grave. "I'm afraid this is another Faxiang practitioner cultivating earth-aspect true qi. Only then could they use Unity of Heaven and Man to control the earth, travel underground, and launch an ambush!"
"They already know..."
Heavenly Secret Twenty-Five's thoughts raced. He looked at the White-Browed Daoist, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked gravely, "Brother White-Browed, you have cultivated the divine earth-aspect art Kun Yuan Skill for seventy years. Could you accomplish something like this? Hide within the earth and wait for a chance to ambush someone?"
"No."
The White-Browed Daoist shook his head solemnly. "Look at both sides of this passage. There are no signs of damage; they are just as they were before. That alone shows that the attacker's Earth-Traveling Technique far surpasses mine!
