After a leaf, swirled in Sword Qi, pierced through Chen Xuanjin's chest, his Spiritual Power within dissipated. His eyes widened, terrified to the core.
He immediately released his Nascent Soul and fled towards the horizon.
In the shaking forest, Gu An calmly watched Chen Xuanjin escape. He intentionally spared Chen Xuanjin's life; killing him would only yield a few decades of Life Span, not as significant as letting him return to intimidate those lurking in the shadows.
Even if he killed Chen Xuanjin now, someone else would take his place. Addressing the symptom, not the root.
If intimidation proved ineffective and his Profound Valley was threatened, then Gu An would have to take matters into his own hands.
Under the cover of night, Gu An's gaze was icy cold. He turned and left, quickly disappearing into the woods.
Within the ruins.
