The shrill cry echoed throughout the entire hall, followed by a spurt of fresh blood....
Thud!
The upper body of the Rat Messenger slammed heavily onto the ground, red and white matter splattering all around. His eyes bulged with shock and unwillingness, but he was already devoid of any breath.
Hong Yidao stood there, gripping the hilt of his blade tightly. His complexion had turned rosy—where was there any sign of poisoning?
The air instantly became still, and no one spoke a word.
The entire hall fell into silence, save for the heavy panting that almost made one's heart leap out of their chest!
The Rat Messenger was cleaved in two—a sight too horrific and shocking!
The Serpent Messenger and others stood agape, completely taken aback by the turn of events. The leader of the Elder Messenger Group, the Rat Messenger, had been severed in half by Hong Yidao!
"He... how is he not poisoned?" The Serpent Messenger clenched his teeth, his eyes icy and murderous intent sky high!
