But the next moment, Chu Ning noticed Xu Kun's expression changed, his face becoming panic-stricken.
"No... it can't be!"
Those were the last words Xu Kun uttered as his body fell; as for his soul, it had already been shredded by the Sword Intent.
Chu Ning looked at Xu Kun's corpse and, after a long while, confirmed that the body was still there. He then flicked his right middle finger, sending out a strand of flame that hit Xu Kun's body. As the flame dissipated, there was nothing left on the ground except for a Storage Bag.
By now, Chu Ning had gained the ability to control the Earth Fire to burn anything he wished.
"If Xu Kun could come back to life, in theory, his body should have vanished. It's impossible for it to remain there after his revival. Plus, considering the words he uttered in sudden change of color, he must indeed be dead this time."
