"Pain... such pain..."
The voice of the young swordsman seemed to carry endless despair.
The ice that had originally clung to his body began to shatter under the influence of an invisible force.
Pei Jinye slowly rose to his feet, his gaze intense as he watched the scene unfold.
The Bloodthirsty Bead was slowly merging within the body of the young swordsman.
He didn't know what was happening to the other.
But it was evident that the other's vitality was rapidly soaring.
More noticeably, the flesh on the young swordsman's body was constantly dissolving... if one looked closely, it was being absorbed by the Bloodthirsty Bead.
The light on the Bloodthirsty Bead grew increasingly luminous.
It was as if it had stored a great amount of vitality.
But what made Pei Jinye amazed and perplexed was that, even though the young swordsman had turned to a white bone body, the vitality stored within the Bloodthirsty Bead had only increased slightly.
