Yan Rui saw the cold light flickering on the wooden sword.
Fear surged in his heart. His legs and arms, though in excruciating pain, were forgotten as he no longer felt them.
Almost crying, his voice hoarse, he pleaded, "Don't kill me! Don't... I am willing to be your beast of burden, willing to be your slave..."
His father had told him that as long as he kept his life, he would still have a chance to turn things around.
But as soon as he took out his Qiankun Bag, Nanli struck twice with her sword.
No matter how much Yan Rui tried to channel his spiritual energy to defend himself, it was all in vain.
He watched in horror as his arms were severed.
"Ah—You Evil Girl..." Yan Rui rolled on the ground in pain, cursing in filthy words.
Nanli showed no mercy.
With a swift motion, she struck once more.
His head rolled off, tumbling across the ground, facing upward, frozen in a final look of shock and fear, his mouth slightly open.
Yet his soul slowly rose from his body.
