A handful of blood spurted from Wang Tenghuan's neck, staining the ground five steps away.

The Great Liang Dragon Sparrow drooped, its sword tip slanted toward the ground. The blade, as clear and cold as ice jade, remained unstained by blood. Blood trickled down the blade, converging at the tip into a single drop of thick blood before falling to the ground.
