　　"If not enlightenment in this life, when then will I reach it?" A sighing voice came from the bottom of the crater. Everyone's countenance turned ashen.

　　"I knew it! He's still alive!" Qing Linglong grabbed her sister and jumped onto Big Beard's mecha before it took off.

　　"s.h.i.+t!" Mr. Xie cursed and retreated to a safe distance, followed by the other guardians.

　　As the smoke around the crater finally dispersed, a near-divested man was seen at its bottom. He opened his eyes and reached out for the handle of the knife stuck in his chest.

　　"Liu Meng…" Li Yiming stood up and looked around as he stretched his stiff limbs.

　　"I'm not dead? Where's Liu Meng?" Li Yiming gritted his teeth and pulled out the knife.

　　A sizzling noise was heard, as if his chest was a balloon which had just been deflated. However, instead of blood gus.h.i.+ng out, Li Yiming only saw a gaping, tenebrous hole. 'What happened… to my heart?'

　　"So what if he didn't die? I'll just kill him again!" Mr. Xie's features were contorted by greed and anxiousness of missing the opportunity to finish off Li Yiming.

　　He extended his hands towards two of his followers and they began to convulse as shadowy figures emerged from their skulls and flew into Mr. Xie's palms. Invigorated by the power of youth, Mr. Xie's white hair turned black once more, and his hunched back straightened up as his followers wilted away, turning into two piles of bones.

　　"Vitality Transferral?" Yun Yiyuan, who was observing the whole scene in secret, snorted in contempt. He knew full well the detrimental effects that the technique had on the user's body.

　　"Sky Aging!" Mr. Xie's eyes shone with a silvery glow and the tip of his fingers lit up. He began tracing in the air until what looked like an old-fas.h.i.+oned watch emerged out of thin air, emitting an explosion of light before disappearing.
