As Severin approached Sian, the latter tightened his grip on his golden lance and tried to unleash his
spiritual energy. He looked at Severin in fear and despair as he yelled, “Severin! You... You can’t kill me!”
Each step that Severin took caused Sian to feel as though the murderous aura surrounding him was
getting stronger and stronger. That sense of fear was so strong that it bore down on his shoulders and
made it difficult for him to breathe.
Having witnessed Uzair’s demise on top of suffering a severe injury in the previous battle, Uzair felt a
numbness in his scalp and had lost all his arrogance from before. Though trembling in fear, he looked at
Severin and gritted his teeth to make one last–ditch threat. “The Gahrrs won’t let you off that easily if you
kill me!”
Severin smiled coldly, and the spiritual energy from his level eight supreme saint attainment seemed to
cage Sian like a barrier. “Worry about yourself, rather than worrying about whether or not the Gahrrs will
come for me,” he replied, his voice laced with icy indifference.
He then raised the Scarletsky Sword once more. With Severin preparing to deliver yet another fatal blow
to another disciple, Raymond and Celeste snapped out of their senses and intervened.
“Hold it, Severin!” Raymond’s voice cracked with urgency.
Severin glanced at him in confusion and asked, “And why should I? Are you trying to intercede on his
behalf?”
Raymond approached Severin and said, “Uzair’s death is more than enough.” He then took a deep breath
and said, “He’s their prodigy, and the Deifirm Sect’s elders are nearby. If you kill another one of their
prodigies, even Peak Master Myles‘ won’t be able to protect you from their paragon–level elders. This
might even escalate to a point where they’ll bring over their royal paragons!”
Celeste echoed his pleas. “Raymond is right! Teaching Sian a lesson is good enough. If his family catches
wind of his death, their elders are going to go all out against you.”
Raymond and Celeste were concerned with the implications. Both Uzair and Sian were the prodigies of
their generation. Myles might be able to protect Severin in the outside world after Uzair’s death, as Uzair
started the battle first and ought to understand that every battle carried with it a risk of death. Besides,
there were also plenty of other prodigies within the Deifirm Sect, so the death of one might not be that big
of a blow.
By contrast, killing another high–ranking figure like Sian could spark an uncontrollable conflict, as Sian
was the Gahrr’s scion and the family head’s only son. Sian’s father would certainly go mad if Severin were to kill him. Not even
Myles would be able to withstand the combined wrath of the Gahrrs and the Deifirm

Severin seemed to have been persuaded by Raymond as the murderous glint in his eyes faded considerably after a tense
silence. He glared at the trembling Sian and snarled, “I’ve decided to slice off one of your arms instead of killing you. Consider
yourself lucky.”
Severin then unleashed the Scarletsky Sword, sending a gleaming light slicing down on Sian’s shoulder. A searing pain coursed
through his body quicker than he could react, and he watched in horror as his right
arm tumbled to the ground. Blood gushed out from the wound, and Sian yelled in agony.
As Severin watched Sian suffer, he retracted the blade back into his energy core and dismissed the
wounded Sian with a wave of his hand. “Leave.”
