Kai Xuan choked, his face turning purple. Yet, even now, he smirked. "You… think… this is over?"
A pulse of golden energy erupted from his body—a temporal detonation, designed to erase everything in its radius.
Yun Lintian didn't flinch.
His left eye flared, and the explosion froze mid-detonation, trapped in a bubble of spatial stasis. With a flick of his wrist, he crushed the frozen explosion into nothingness, leaving Kai Xuan staring in horror.
"You—!"
Yun Lintian slammed him into the ground, the impact cracking the remnants of the Haven's false earth. Blood sprayed from Kai Xuan's lips as his ribs shattered.
"Last chance," Yun Lintian said, his voice deathly calm. "Where is Qingxuan?"
Kai Xuan coughed up blood, his smirk returning. "Heh… even if you kill me… you'll never—"
Yun Lintian's patience snapped.
His fingers dug deeper, and with a sickening crunch, Kai Xuan's neck broke.
"Argh…" Kai Xuan struggled hard. "Kill me… and you will never find your woman again."
