Wan Longke had never seen such a brilliant sword light before.
His eyes widened, his body stiffened. Under such a sword light, even though he had stepped into the Fifth Rank and become a Xuanwu Martial Artist, he had absolutely no power to resist. Yet, unlike the several other martial artists around him, he didn't lose his composure; instead, he just held his sword with both hands, staring straight as the sword light devoured him.
Under the sword light, he watched the man he once disdained, his sword robe stained with blood.
All sorts of emotions surfaced in his heart—rage, unwillingness—all of which dissipated under the sword light. He sighed, smiled and nodded, saying, "I submit!"
The sword light was fierce.
It then engulfed everyone around him, and before death took him, Wan Longke had already lost all thought about his original plans, merely watching that unprecedented pure sword light.
His body was erect, the stance of a true martial artist.
