Qi Zhiran's awakening happened in just an instant.
Shi Zanxue's sword hadn't had the chance to reach his throat.
His hollow eyes suddenly fixed on her.
He was clearly deeply harmed, his face pale as a ghost, body stiff as a board. As the Feixing Vein Master of the Southern Sect, this was the third time in his life he had encountered the Heart Sword.
The first time was when he took the position of vein master, the sword strike came from Sect Master Sheng Xuefeng. Of course, he didn't die from it because the Sect Master spared him.
"When you face the Heart Sword, there are only two ways to survive. One, you kill the other, and two, the other does not kill you," Sheng Xuefeng said. "Generally speaking, the chances of the former are less than ten percent."
"So, when meeting someone holding the Heart Sword, you just await death?"
