Screech!
In almost an instant, just after the three branch elders had been marveling at the Great Elder's powerful Meridian Spirit, they witnessed the young man named Yun Xiao casually wield a sword, severing the Meridian Spirit. Then, another moment passed, and the Great Elder's head flew off.
Blood spurted from the Great Elder's neck like a human-shaped fountain, painting the courtyard with extreme bloodiness. With just two sword strikes, he forced the other three elders to retreat several steps.
Perhaps in the hearts of these three elders, as well as the deceased Great Elder, they never imagined such an outcome? Why, despite being in the late stage of the Seeking Origin Realm, and the Great Elder just shy of the peak, could he not even withstand a single sword strike from that young man?
As they say, in the martial world, speed is unbeatable. Yun Xiao had evidently pushed speed to the limit, catching the Great Elder off guard and severing his neck in an instant.
