Since Ye Rong was ready for the final strike, he certainly would not be unprepared for the Green-Robed Ancestor's soul to escape.
If he only destroyed the physical body and let the soul escape, the merit from this killing would at most be only one-third of what he would have gained if both soul and body were destroyed.
He had long prepared the Demon-Catching Banner, and unexpectedly, it really worked, wiping out the Green-Robed Ancestor in an instant.
Of course, this was also related to the fact that the Green-Robed Ancestor was healing his injuries while meditating. Under normal circumstances, if someone like him wanted his soul to escape, there would be only a few people in the world who could capture and kill him.
Having successfully killed the Green-Robed Ancestor, Ye Rong's body was immediately enveloped in a white light and he leveled up a rank on the spot.
"A level 208 Legendary NPC, Green-Robed Ancestor is really terrifying!"
