Chapter 2096 White Storm

Chapter 2096 White Storm

Grimsight stood at the edge of the barrier, with his crooked body and his hands behind his back. He took a few steps, getting closer and closer to the three.

A few steps into his walk, he stopped, turning his one eye toward Pearl.

Pearl froze, feeling dread of such a variety for the first time in his life. He had never felt this scared from just seeing a person before. This man showed no hostility and yet every fiber of his being told him to turn around and run.

"My word! An actual White Tiger, in the flesh," the man said softly, surprising both Alex and Pearl. Neither of them could tell how the man had realized that so quickly by just looking at him once.

"Who... who are you?" Teng Zhengmian asked. He could feel the fear too, but this was nowhere close to what he felt when he was around his master, so he was more used to it than others.

He sensed Grimsight's cultivation base and was surprised to find it non-existent. He had no cultivation base, so how had he attacked his chain just now?

Had that perhaps been someone else?

He spread his senses around, but there was no one but this single old man. And he kept staring at the other young man before him instead of answering.

"You one-eyed freak! Who the hell are you?" he shouted, finally catching the old man's attention.

Grimsight turned, landing his gaze upon the man. "You... are far too gone to be saved, child," he said. "The only salvation to your soul is death, I'm afraid."

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about?" the man demanded, getting angrier by the second. Without thinking, he pulled out his illusory skull Spirit with a gaze that seemed to consume everything. He used his Spirit on the man and... Nothing. Nothing happened at all.

"What?" he couldn't imagine. "How can... how can this be?"

And most of all, he would miss the chance to get the revenge he so wanted.

Leave? That was not happening at all.

"Old man, if you want to leave, then you may leave," the man said. "I will only leave when he is dead."

The illusory skull appeared behind his body once again, ready to attack.

Grimsight merely shook his head in disappointment. "You leave no choice for me but to act, child."

A white storm appeared at that very moment, not one of wind and lightning, but one of Qi and Intent. The storm only appeared around the man, fully surrounding him.

Alex looked at the storm and couldn't help but suck in a deep breath when he saw what the storm was truly made out of.

The white storm was made entirely of just Spear Qi. Thousands upon thousands of Spear Qi zipped around Teng Zhengmian, lacerating him all over his body so quickly that within seconds, the Spear Qi cut through his bones and organs, and then through everything else.

5 seconds later, when Grimsight stopped the storm, a bunch of objects fell down from where the man stood, some destroyed in the storm, some intact.

Alex and Pearl watched with a horrified look as they both realized that the man had not only died but had been killed so thoroughly that not even the items in his Soul Space remained safe.

He had died so quickly that the items had spilled out and then were already damaged. Alex couldn't begin to imagine how strong one had to be to do such a thing.

Grimsight looked at the aftermath and shook his head. "Shame," he said. "Such a shame that I had to kill him."

He turned around, looking at Alex and Pearl, and finally walked in closer toward the two. He arrived next to them and gave a small smile.

"Are you alright?" he asked. "Don't worry. Brother Silvermist is right behind me. He should be here any moment to help you."
