"Although I know you're trying to goad me, I think I could still oblige you," Huang Xiao suddenly added.
Qi Heng's eyes lit up at those words.
Seeing his reaction, Huang Xiao laughed again. "Excited, are you? Unfortunately, that was a joke."
"Bastard, you're toying with me!" Qi Heng raged.
"So what if I am?" Huang Xiao's expression darkened. "It's time to send you to the Western Paradise."
With that, Huang Xiao glanced toward the Patriarch.
Huo Lian nodded slightly.
Qi Heng's heart trembled. He knew they were clearly about to deal the killing blow.
Not daring to think any further, he kicked hard off the ground and charged madly toward the exit.
"Don't even think about it!" Huo Lian shouted, immediately moving to intercept him. With a turn of the Imitation Saber in his hand, he unleashed a fierce blast of Saber Force.
Qi Heng's eyes narrowed. A blast of Saber Force like that clearly could not deal with him.
But just as he was about to dodge it, his expression changed drastically.
As the Saber Force was about to reach him, it suddenly exploded.
That single blast instantly split into nearly a hundred, covering every direction in which he could dodge.
"Damn it!" Qi Heng roared. He realized he had nowhere to dodge and could only withstand it head-on.
Amid a series of bangs, Qi Heng burst out of the area covered by the Saber Force, drenched in blood.
Before he could even catch his breath, Huang Xiao was already upon him from behind.
Sensing the killing intent behind him, Qi Heng hastily turned and struck out with his palm.
A scream rang out as Qi Heng's right hand was cleanly severed by Huang Xiao's Minghong Saber.
Bare hands could not possibly withstand the sharpness of a blade.
