Disciple C, who had been left reeling from the Spiritual Qi shockwave, finally caught his breath. But his face was pale, his eyes filled with regret.
Disciple C: "I... I failed... I was so close..."
Dong Changsheng: "Don't be discouraged! Though you failed, you scouted out the dangerous path for the rest of us! Failure is the mother of success!"
Bitterness filled Disciple C's heart. 'The first-strike honor is gone, and I wasted a precious opportunity.'
Dong Changsheng: "What's with the panic?! Look at you lot, so pathetic! Heads up! The heavens' eyes are all-seeing! The last fiend who dared to defy the natural order has already been struck down and turned to ash! This one will absolutely not escape the judgment of the Celestial Dao!"
As if to prove his declaration, the moment his voice fell, the crowd saw the pillar of Spiritual Qi, which had been soaring toward the heavens, begin to shake violently after reaching its zenith.
Everyone's hearts leaped into their throats.
