Li Xiu's body exploded, scattering brilliant light, dazzling and floral.
After the brilliant light dispersed, Li Xiu's figure was nowhere to be seen, as if that sword strike had obliterated him into nothingness, leaving not even a trace of bone behind.
Guan Jinghao's expression turned grave. He didn't believe that his sword truly reduced Li Xiu to nothing, and previously, Li Xiu disappeared in just such a manner, only to reappear behind him, dragging the situation into an unknown direction.
Guan Jinghao focused his senses all around, but still couldn't spot any trace of Li Xiu. He listened intently but heard nothing.
Suddenly, Guan Jinghao's right eye's pupil retracted, blood blossoming like a scarlet chrysanthemum blooming within his eye.
Despite suffering such a severe blow suddenly, in that extreme pain, Guan Jinghao remained as calm as if possessed, his body flickering, leaping with incredible speed, rising thousands of meters in an instant.
