Shh!
Suddenly, before Li Lao San could finish speaking, Ye Xuan's figure remained still, yet his sword finger swept across the void, unleashing a terrifying streak of blood light that burst forth. The smile had yet to fade from Li Lao San's face when, to everyone's horror, his body was cleanly severed at the waist, becoming two dreadful halves that slumped onto the platform.
Blood spurted out, blinding to the eyes; a sight too ghastly to bear. This was the scene witnessed by over a thousand death row inmates, casting a sinister silence upon the entire field.
"Ah!"
It took a good ten breaths before someone let out a sharp scream, breaking the deadly quietness of the field and inciting the prisoners to cry out in fear, their gazes towards Ye Xuan finally tinged with terror.
Step—step—step.
