“If I can’t have the spirit vein today, then that little brat dies with my talisman!”
As Holy Son Chu Tian crushed the forbidden Rank 5 Peak Blood-Escape Talisman against his chest, his gentle scholar mask vanished completely, revealing the vicious, cowardly street-rat underneath.
BOOM—CRACKLE!
A blood-red spatial rift tore open behind Chu Tian’s back to suck him forty miles away toward Supreme Sword Mountain. At the exact same time, the talisman’s offensive half—containing a full-power Crimson Blood-Sword Shockwave sealed by Supreme Sword Sect Master Jian Jue—erupted outward across the platform!
Chu Tian didn’t aim the Rank 5 Peak shockwave at Gu Changsheng or Saintess Lin Qing.
Knowing that any good father would panic and abandon the chase to save his youngest child, Chu Tian deliberately aimed the thirty-foot crescent of boiling blood-qi straight at eight-year-old Su Nuannuan’s chest. She stood beside the pedestal holding her pink watering can!
“Nuannuan!” Saintess Lin Qing and Guard Captain Liu Yan screamed in horror, both women lunging forward to throw their own bodies in front of the little girl. The Rank 5 Peak blood-wave moved three times faster than their boots.
Up on the Chamber of Commerce balcony, Merchant Boss Qian Duoduo covered his eyes with his fat hands. “Shameless! Even for a retreating immortal, firing a Sect Master’s Rank 5 Peak life-saving talisman at an eight-year-old little girl is pure murder!”
