"Mr. Sullen, kill him and end the Crescent Sect. I don't have any regrets about dying!" Seth uttered determinedly.
"Did you hear that?" Jacob smiled. "He has no qualms about dying."
"Ahh!" Ezrah let out a crazed shriek. Immediately, he raised his foot, prepared to deliver the final blow that would end Seth's life.
Bang!
Before Ezrah could stomp down, Jacob darted forward and slammed a hand into the former's chest. In an instant, Ezrah's entire body was thrown backward before he collided against the statue, turning it into smithereens.
Seth closed his eyes, ready to face his impending death. But for the longest time, nothing hit him. Hesitantly, Seth opened his eyes, only to realize that Ezrah had vanished. Instead, Jacob now occupied the space where the elder once stood.
"Can you still stand? If you can, stop playing dead," Jacob said as he glanced at Seth.
