As the domain dissipated, reality snapped back into focus. Only 30 seconds had passed, but the impact was devastating. Over 680 warriors lay dead, their bodies mutilated beyond recognition. Lei Tang, Zhang Ping, and Zhao Min stood in shock, their minds struggling to comprehend the carnage.
Zhang Ping's face showed fear for the first time, his eyes wide with terror. Lei Tang thought, "What just happened? My senses were blocked, and it felt like hours passed inside that domain." Zhao Min wondered, "Is this Elder's power demonic? How can it be so strange and terrifying?"
Kane, still covered in blood, his eyes glowing red, took a second step forward. He vanished and reappeared behind Li Qing, piercing his chest. Li Qing's face contorted in shock, his eyes screaming "No, no, no! This can't be!" as Kane pulled out his heart. The last drops of blood pumped out, and Li Qing knelt down, dead.
Kane's voice was cold, detached, "What a worthless life."
Kane widened his hands and said
Ephemeral lives, like autumn leaves,
Crumble to dust, but mine receives
No scar, no wound, no mortal fate,
In my realm, I dictate death's state."
As he spoke, he noticed Lei Bai was missing. Kane thought to himself, "Hehehe, nice try attempting to escape."
Kane looked at Lei Tang and said, "I think your son has left you alone."
But Lei Tang remained silent. Kane tightened his grip and used Supersonic First Form. He vanished from there and reappeared in front of Lei Tang, clashing swords with him.
Lei Tang looked down and saw another sword stabbing him from behind. He looked back and saw Zhao Min, his own daughter, betraying him. He started coughing blood as he said, "Zhao Min... why?"
Kane didn't waste time, slicing through Lei Tang's head. Lei Tang's last expression was one of surprise, anger, and fear. His head was sliced into two parts, and his body fell to the ground.
Zhang Ping was shocked by Zhao Min's betrayal. He thought she loved her father, but now he realized she was working with Kane all along.
Zhao Min said, "Elder Fang Lin, why do you look different?"
Kane smiled, his eyes gleaming with amusement. "Elder Fang Lin is dead. I am Kane."
Zhao Min was taken aback by this as Kane looked towards Zhang Ping, but Kane was surprised by how Zhang Ping was calm and composed when he was going to die. Kane was about to speak, but suddenly a sound came - "Father! Father! No!"
It was Lei Bai, his face red with emotion. He had successfully escaped, but his pride didn't allow him to leave. Lei Bai thought to himself, "When Father told me to leave and ask for reinforcement, I didn't know it would be like this."
But Kane didn't know that Lei Bai was going to ask for reinforcement. He thought Lei Bai was trying to escape from him.
Kane sneered at Lei Bai. "You think you can escape me? I've already killed your father."
Lei Bai's eyes flashed with anger. "You'll pay for that, Fang Lin. I'll make sure you regret what you've done."
And with that, Lei Bai charged forward, his sword drawn. Kane laughed,
ready to face him. But what happens next?
