When Cai Xiaowen saw the spiritual qi sword rushing toward him, realization struck like a bolt of lightning. They had been discovered from the very beginning. A bitter, self-mocking smile crept onto his lips—his final expression—before the blades impaled him. In the next instant, his body was torn apart, shredded into bloody pieces.
The two other members of Xiao Zendong's team met the same gruesome end. Despite their powerful cultivation at the Transcending Tribulation stage, being caught off guard by a tier 8 array was more than enough to seal their fate.
Only Xiao Zendong managed to narrowly escape. Relying on supernatural reflexes and a secret escape technique, he tore free from the trap—though not unscathed. His left arm was severed in the process, leaving a trail of blood in his wake.
