Secret Buyer

The sky was as blue as if washed clean.

"Forbidden killing..."

In the city, a Celestial Human gazed at that tiny sapling, their eyes flickering.

The matter of forbidden killing sounded too absurd,

yet everything that had happened before was indeed too bizarre, especially that Celestial Human, who died in such an inexplicable way, completely erased as if a simple drawing rubbed out by an eraser.

On top of a certain high building, there was a young Celestial Human like a blazing sun,

he was elegant and detached, dressed in long robes with wide sleeves covering his hands, overlooking the entire city.

"Forbidden slaughter..."

This exceptional talent from the Celestial Principle Sect, known as the youngest Celestial Human in history, smiled and instructed with a sideways glance:

"Bring me a commoner."

"Yes."

A moment later, a trembling young girl was brought to the rooftop.

"Kill her." The exceptional talent calmly issued the order.

"As you wish."

An Upper Envoy at the level of a Great Sect respectfully nodded,

he extended his hand, causing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to shake and gather, forming a phantom spear, then holding the spear, he lightly pierced it into the girl’s heart amidst her pleas.

The spear pierced through the heart.

There was no cover at this place, at this moment many from various sects were carefully observing this place,

to see what would happen if one committed acts of killing.

They quickly had an answer.

"What is that?"

The Great Sect holding the spear piercing the girl’s heart suddenly looked up in fear and uttered a startled cry,

the youth in long robes raised his head to look, but saw nothing.

He frowned slightly and looked at the startled Great Sect, but froze slightly.

The youth saw in the other’s eyes a drifting ’sword energy’.

Yes, sword energy.

Sword energy visible only to that Great Sect.

"What kind of technique is this?"

The youth in long robes muttered, reaching out to intercept the unseen sword energy, but failed—the sword energy seemed to truly not exist,

or rather, it seemed to exist only in the eyes of that Grandmaster.

Thus.

In full view, that Grandmaster suddenly whimpered and split into two halves from the middle—

No, not just the body.

Even his soul was cut in half at this moment!

"Such a bizarre means of killing." The youth in long robes spoke calmly, his expression not changing at all, when suddenly he heard another call— "Save me!!"

He glanced sideways, along with many other eyes focused on this spot, turning to look, seeing only an ordinary disciple,

it was the disciple himself who had captured the girl.

Afterwards, the disciple also split into two, his Soul Spirit shattered, blood flowing.

It was him, yet it was not just him.

Messengers, door openers, those leading the way upstairs...

Anyone involved in this seemingly unremarkable murder, even if it was just doing something insignificant,

all split into two as if sliced by an extremely sharp sword edge.

The youth in long robes finally showed a change of expression,

because...

Only he was left.

He rose into the air, his body beginning to emit light, as a recognized exceptional talent of the past thousand years,

the youth naturally had his own unique methods.

There was an aura of Immortal Light swirling above his head, within which a [New Heaven] from the Celestial Principle Sect was faintly present!

"Come face me."

The youth spoke loudly, his long robes billowing in the wind, as gazes gathered upon him, observing with silence.

"Will he die?" someone focused intently, mumbling the question, while a formidable presence beside them wore a grave expression:

"Probably not, right? I know this person, one of this generation’s celestial sons of the Celestial Principle Sect, favored by the New Heaven, prospering in fortune, acting recklessly."

After a pause, the formidable presence continued:

"Even without the Celestial Principle Sect’s New Heaven protection, this person is a true supreme prodigy, he has fought with Celestial Humans of the Five Declines when he first entered the Third Decline!"

"Nowadays, he’s long since reached the apex level of Celestial Humans, just one step away from Ascension to God..."

Before the sentence could finish.

People saw, the exceptional talent wearing long robes, under the protection of the New Heaven, suddenly looked up.

This time, the youth finally saw.

He saw a light, a drifting sword energy floating towards him, very slowly, not overwhelmingly radiant,

but wherever the sword energy passed, everything made way for it, be it his own Immortal Light, the protective Array he had erected,

or the New Heaven’s projection overhead...

Everything, without exception, naturally avoided that drifting sword energy.

The sword energy somehow occupied all of his vision.

"Kill!!"

The youth roared, ascending to meet the sword energy head-on, a tragic aura erupting from his body, with heavy visions rising and falling behind him,

like a lotus pond blooming, Mingyue illuminating a great river, white rainbow piercing the sun, mountains and rivers swaying...

And then.

He split apart.

Together with those heavy visions and the reflected New Heaven entanglement, everything split apart.

Immortal Blood spilled.

Fake...impossible?

Have I died just like that?

What on earth was that sword energy...?

In the instant just before his Soul Spirit shattered and he died,

the youth saw, the girl whose heart had been pierced by a spear, as if time was rewinding,

the flowing blood reversed back into her body, the spear withdrew, the shattered heart fragments all reversed their paths, rejoining together,

it was not healing, but ’reversing’ and ’retreating’,

even the Soul Spirit drawn away by the Six Paths of Reincarnation quietly returned.

Thus, the girl came back to life, or rather, her death was ’revoked’.

She looked around in confusion.

All the celestial beings and Innates observing this place fell into silence, and then decrees were sent down from the Celestial Humans of various sects.
