This one instant, as if time itself had frozen.
The expressions on everyone's faces were so still they resembled statues!
Until—
Elder Haoyue's head, adorned with a golden crown, dropped to the ground with a 'clatter' rolling several times before stopping at the feet of Haoyue Geshui, who had just slapped Nayi.
The pair of eyes on Elder Haoyue's decapitated head were wide open, and the remaining glint in them emitted utter shock!
Everyone's gaze was directed towards...that severed head.
The menacing expression still lingered on Haoyue Geshui's face, his eyes wide open in absolute terror. His Adam's apple bobbed uncontrollably, the corners of his mouth twitched violently. Eventually, he let out a piercing screech like a madman: "Ah!"
Thump!
Elder Haoyue's headless body stood straight without falling. As Haoyue Geshui screamed, a surge of hot blood erupted like a fountain!
A vibrant life force suddenly flared in Princess Baolian's pupils, she shouted sharply, "Kill!"
