Zhu Hongming's miserable screams were completely engulfed by intense pain. He couldn't even hear clearly what Gao Xian was saying, let alone have the energy to confront him.
Seeing Zhu Hongming's pitiful appearance, Gao Xian lost interest in him.
"Just a big talker, only good at threatening with words. When faced with real danger, he immediately backs down."
His gaze shifted to Zhu Qinghe. The middle-aged man's face was grim, with a hint of undisguised panic in his eyes.
It seemed that the sword strike from earlier had frightened Zhu Qinghe.
As Zhu Qinghe and Gao Xian locked eyes with calm and profound gazes, a sense of unease crept into his heart.
This young alchemist's swordsmanship was unexpectedly powerful, far beyond his expectations.
Especially the calmness and indifference after killing someone, it was evident that he was an experienced hand at taking lives.
With the Patriarch absent, Zhu Qinghe truly wasn't confident in defeating Gao Xian!
Zhu Qinghe felt a sense of dread, but he couldn't just turn around and flee.
All four young talents were from the Zhu family, specially taken out by the Patriarch for training.
If all of them were killed by Gao Xian, how could he face the Patriarch?
