The Sima family members who had previously knelt down begging Erniu for mercy saw this and suddenly felt that they were back in favor, one by one straightening their backs and standing up.
Unfortunately, before they could even approach Erniu, they saw him smirk ominously, and then, with a flick of his fingers, the golden runes tied around him shattered instantly like glass.
Then Erniu waved a single hand towards Sima Guang, who was holding the Treasured Sword, and immediately a great force sent him flying and crashing heavily onto the office desk.
The solid wood office desk was smashed to smithereens, and the surrounding members of the Sima family scattered in fright.
When they looked back at Sima Guang, the Treasured Sword he had acquired at a high price was now broken in two, and he himself was lying on the ground, without the strength to even get up.
