Upon sensing the beam of light, the Ninth Elder sneered. A water sphere emanated from his body and flew backward, as he aimed to trap the sword light within it. In his mind, he had trapped so many powerful elders before; surely, a mere beam of light would be captured instantly.
PSSH!
The water sphere was instantly pierced.
"What? How is this possible?"
The Ninth Elder's face changed dramatically. Before he could react, the sword light struck him, penetrating his body. A bloody hole appeared on his torso, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.
"AH!" he let out a miserable scream.
This Sword Qi... how can it be so sharp? How could it be? Who was it that attacked?
He looked down and found a blood-stained leaf on the ground.
What? Was I injured by a single leaf? Did Clan Leader Ye make a move? The only one who could injure me so easily would be Clan Leader Ye himself.
