"Heartless Ultimate Sword!"
The small sword, created via the Painter Path, used a Painter Miracle Technique to mimic the Heaven and Earth Sword Intent, aiming for the Crow Fosterer's neck.
SHINK!
Zheng Xiu's "death" and the Crow Fosterer's death occurred at the same time. From afar, it looked as though Zheng Xiu had "phased through" the Crow Fosterer's body. In truth, as his own body disintegrated, Zheng Xiu swung his sword at blinding speed, decapitating the Crow Fosterer in the same instant he disappeared.
...
"Do you like birds?"
An old man was speaking with a young boy.
"I do."
"Why?"
"I want to be like them, flying freely in the sky."
"How about I teach you the art of raising birds? Once you learn it, you too will be able to fly. Fly high."
"Okay!"
"From this day forward, I bestow upon you a name... Jiu."
...
"I did it! HAHAHA!"
The moment he beheaded the Crow Fosterer, a strange memory flowed into Zheng Xiu's mind.
