For a cultivator at the Golden Immortal realm, merely having their body slashed in half was actually not fatal.
After all, even those at the True Immortal and True Demon level, their flesh and blood could already evolve into avatars.
For a Golden Immortal like Hua Qing, even if only his head was left, he could recondense a new body in minutes.
However, when the Golden Jiao Scissors made that cut, it didn’t only sever his body, but also completely destroyed his Divine Soul with the Power of Destruction contained within the scissors.
With a ‘plop…’ sound,
Hua Qing, now in two pieces, lunged towards Chen Hai, shifting from extreme movement to extreme stillness, then his eyes wide open, lost their luster and he fell to the barren ground a few steps in front of Chen Hai.
The remnants of life in his body extinguished at an alarmingly fast rate, and in the blink of an eye, his body turned to ash; a breeze swept by, and on the barren land, there was no longer any trace of Hua Qing’s existence.
“This is the Golden Jiao Scissors, so fierce…”
The scene before him deeply shocked Chen Hai.
He had long known of the Golden Jiao Scissors’ great fame, but the one in his hand had only revived a small part of its powers.
Holding such a Supreme Treasure, he had merely assumed that with it, he could fight above his Great Realm and match a Golden Immortal.
He truly hadn’t expected the Golden Jiao Scissors to be so ferocious that a single strike could instantly kill a Golden Immortal.
Huang Dongming, who had turned and fled upon seeing the unfavorable situation, had already run more than a hundred meters away, escaping to the big tree at the boundary.
He turned back to see what had become of Hua Qing, who had been quiet for a while now!
What he saw was the exact moment when Hua Qing’s body was cut in half and turned to ash, scattering in the wind.
Hua Qing and he had known each other for countless years.
In terms of strength, although there was a gap between them, it definitely was not big.
The person holding the Golden Jiao Scissors, who could kill Hua Qing in one strike, would not fare much better than Hua Qing if Huang Dongming faced the same opponent.
“The fact that I have the Golden Jiao Scissors must not be revealed!”
“Since I’ve acted, there must be no survivors, the one who fled… he absolutely cannot be allowed to leave alive…”
Chen Hai, who was momentarily stunned, had now come back to his senses.
He looked into the distance at Huang Dongming, who had already escaped some way off, bit his tongue tip, spurted a mouthful of Essence Blood onto the hovering Golden Jiao Scissors in front of him.
The next moment, the Golden Jiao Scissors turned into a streak of golden light, instantly crossing hundreds of meters to appear behind Huang Dongming.
“The person who took the Golden Jiao Scissors is here, someone come quickly…”
At this moment, Huang Dongming had already crossed the boundary, his feet stepped into the territory of the Demon Palace in the mining area.
Sensing the terrifyingly powerful fluctuations coming from the chasing Golden Jiao Scissors, his dark face turned white with fear!
He took out a top-grade Immortal Artifact level Golden Gourd Copper Hammer from his Storage Device, positioning it in front of him to block the Golden Jiao Scissors, while also shouting out several roars.
Almost at the same time, the Golden Jiao Scissors swelled in the wind, and the rusty blade of the scissors was already making its cut at him.
With a ‘snap’ came a crisp sound.
The Golden Gourd Copper Hammer, though of exceptional quality and incomparable heft, still paled in comparison to the Golden Jiao Scissors.
Even blocking the fall of the Golden Jiao Scissors was out of the question; the hammer was reduced to scrap metal in an instant, its divine radiance completely extinguished.
Immediately after, a scream echoed; Huang Dongming was utterly annihilated, cleaved in two by the Golden Jiao Scissors.
“Damn it, this Huang Dongming, did he plan to drag me down with him to cushion his fall?”
Muttering curses under his breath, Chen Hai, who had retracted the Golden Jiao Scissors, dared not linger. Concealing his presence with the Concealing Breath Technique, he blended into the thick night and vanished without a trace in an instant.
No sooner had his figure disappeared than several formidable presences saturated with terror appeared at the place of Huang Dongming’s death, on the boundary between the mining areas of the Demon Palace and the Heavenly Mansion.
“Who? Who just roared here? Where are they now?”
“Wasn’t that person shouting about the one who took the Golden Jiao Scissors appearing here?”
“By the time we arrived, there wasn’t a single living person here. Let’s search the vicinity to see if we can find any signs of battle?”
The Heavenly Mansion’s representatives who arrived at the scene were Wan Zhongshan and another Vice Commander, Lin Yongcang, from the Enemy-breaking Camp.
The Enemy-breaking Camp wasn’t too far from this border area, and the two of them, who were stationed in the camp, naturally were the first to arrive upon hearing Huang Dongming’s final roar before death.
Of course, in addition to Wan Zhongshan and Lin Yongcang, several teams on night patrol also rushed over.
It’s just that, with their average strength, by the time they reached the scene, Wan Zhongshan and Lin Yongcang had already been there for nearly the duration of a breath. The source of this content ɪs 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝓷𝓮𝓽
On the Demon Palace’s territory at the border area,
Huang Dongming’s roars also drew many Demon Palace powerhouses to the site of his death.
“What a terrifying remaining aura, is this definitely left by the Golden Jiao Scissors?”
“Huang Dongming should have died right here, but where is his corpse? Has it completely disintegrated into ash?”
“Wan Zhongshan, one of my deacons died here; was it your doing?”
With a dark expression on his face, Man Li furiously glared at Wan Zhongshan and the others from the Heavenly Mansion across the way and angrily questioned them.
Huang Dongming was his absolute confidant, whose voice Man Li recognized exceptionally well.
As soon as those roars reached his ears, he was certain they had come from Huang Dongming.
Although he was not personally involved in the meeting between Huang Dongming and Hua Qing, he was certain he knew some of the details.
In his view, it was definitely the Heavenly Mansion who realized Hua Qing was his mole and then used her as bait to lure out Huang Dongming.
Using a Supreme Treasure like the Golden Jiao Scissors to forcibly end the lives of Hua Qing and Huang Dongming here was obviously a show of force from the Heavenly Mansion.
“Man Li, have you lost your damn mind? Your deacon dies, and that’s his bad luck; what’s that got to do with us?”
“In the middle of the night, your deacon shows up here; I expect you can give me a reasonable explanation.”
“Now, I really suspect that the sudden disappearance of the Supreme Treasure, the Golden Jiao Scissors, from our Merit Treasure Vault is connected to your subordinate.”
“It’s quite possible that the thief who took the Golden Jiao Scissors is in cahoots with them?”
Rolling his eyes at Man Li, Wan Zhongshan retorted sharply, questioning him furiously.
