"You really are naughty," the man said, narrowing his eyes and smiling. "But since you refuse to talk, it's alright. I'll just kill you, and it will all be over. No one will ever know what you've been through, and no one will ever know where you died." No sooner had he finished speaking than he lunged instantly towards Hao'er, intending to end him with a single, decisive blow.
However, just as he was about to strike, Hao'er, who had been on guard the entire time, swiftly dodged and pulled away from the attack.
Seeing this, the man's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "I didn't expect that! You've already reached the Nascent Soul stage? What a pity."
He didn't explicitly state what was a pity, but Hao'er knew precisely what he meant: it was a pity that such a talented child would die at his hands.
