Stabbed in the chest and filled with disbelief, Gu Jiang suddenly realized something, and he quickly turned back, shouting at the astonished Qin Ao behind him, "Qin Ao, run, tell the Heavenly Sword Alliance it was him who killed me! Run… fast!"
Before Gu Jiang's words could trail off, his consciousness retreated like an ebb tide. His body, like a deflated ball, quickly withered away, and all his blood, through the wound in his chest, flowed into the Bloodthirsty Sword and from there into Shi Feng's hand, being absorbed by him.
Qin Ao also jolted awake from his astonishment. Gu Jiang, who was on par with him in terms of realm and strength, had been defeated in just a few moves by this youngster, who was apparently just at the Three-star Martial Monarch Level, and in this brief moment, Qin Ao watched in horror as Gu Jiang's robust body suddenly became withered and yellow, like a weathered corpse.
