After an unknown amount of time, Gu Sheng was awakened by the stinging sensation on his cheek. When he opened his eyes, he saw Ling Xiao using his blood-stained sleeve to wipe the blood off his face.
"Cough cough... Damn, you really hit hard!"
Gu Sheng spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, his left cheek burning with pain.
He glared at Ling Xiao, who was standing three steps away, shaking his wrist with a mischievous grin on his face.
Ling Xiao raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, you woke up pretty quickly. I guess I didn't hit hard enough."
Just as Gu Sheng was about to lash out, his pupils suddenly contracted.
He finally noticed the surroundings.
The original canyon had transformed into a massive crater with a diameter of a hundred feet, the mountain walls on both sides sheared cleanly, the ground littered with smoldering stones.
In the center of the ruins stood the Ancient Reincarnation Bell, covered in cracks.
"Is this... caused by that Sword Qi?"
Gu Sheng's voice trembled.
