The vitality within his body leaked like a breached dike, quickly draining away.
Xiao Yuanqing lowered his head, staring at the long sword piercing through his chest, his expression filled with bewilderment.
No matter how talented he was, he was still just a boy under twenty, and his thoughts were simply unable to help him make sense of the situation before him.
Song Lingqing didn't speak further, she pulled out the long sword and swung it again, directly beheading Xiao Yuanqing.
Having confirmed that Xiao Yuanqing was dead, Song Lingqing slowly exhaled a breath of turbid qi, turned around, and left, leaving behind only a string of muttering.
"You were not wrong, nor was I, it's just that some actions inevitably come with a price."
"You are that price."
"The sects don't have to help the Song Family, I wouldn't hold a grudge even if they just stood by and watched, but they shouldn't have shattered my Immortal Bone."
