Everyone was startled and hastily retreated. Even as she was retreating, the irascible Vermilion Bird had her brows furrowed and snapped, "Ying Wu, you…"
Before she could finish, the seemingly lifeless body of Maitreya exploded suddenly.
Ying Wu, as if prepared, formed another strange magic seal in his hands.
To those watching, it seemed as if ripples spread through space before it shattered piece by piece like glass.
What should have been a terrifying explosion only extended three or four feet at most, its impact was no different from breaking wind.
Ying Wu's body shook slightly, and he violently coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face pale as gold leaf.
It was then that people realized that his sneak attack was meant to force everyone to dodge a few feet away at high speed... The rest of the explosion, he took on alone.
Even then, flesh and blood scattered across the sky, with no one knowing which pieces held the Residual Soul.
