Chapter 214
The water needle technique struck in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, both the blood elixir old cultivator and Xiao Yize’s bodies were pierced through by the storm-like barrage of water needles.
“Perfect! Perfect! It’s done!”
Wang Kaiwei’s eyes burned with barely suppressed excitement. The Eastern Wilderness had promised a twenty-year lifespan-extending spirit pill as reward for Xiao Yize’s head.
Though such pills existed in the Tiger-Chasing Dynasty Treasury, the required merit points were astronomical—even risking his life repeatedly on the Eastern Expedition battlefield might not earn him enough.
Unlike prodigies like Hong Yao or Wenzi Shu, Wang Kaiwei barely ranked as third-tier among Condensing Essence cultivators. He couldn’t even match Song Kaiyang, Moon Watching City’s lord.
Before joining the Eastern Expedition, he’d failed three times to reach the peak of Condensing Essence. These failures drained his lifelong savings, while his dwindling lifespan haunted him like a waking nightmare.
Between life and death lies great terror.
Few could face death as calmly as Li Yuande. Many boast courage until death’s shadow falls upon them.
