The Old Daoist was blown to smithereens on the spot, leaving a pungent smell of blood lingering in the air. After a moment of searching, Zhang Yifan successfully retrieved a Storage Ring from him—everything else had already been obliterated. Repeating his previous trick, Zhang Yifan took out a small bottle and poured some flammable and explosive liquid over the Old Daoist. Shortly after, the Old Daoist was thoroughly burned to ashes, leaving nothing behind and being completely erased from this world.
Laughing heartily, Zhang Yifan left the place. To say the least, as he flew on his way, he felt like a man riding high, even more elated and joyous than before. Having a powerful backing made all the difference; it was incomparably comfortable. Wherever he went, people feared him. If he said one, no one dared to say two; if he told them to go east, no one dared to go west. That feeling was simply too exhilarating.
Not long after Zhang Yifan left, many people flocked to the Black Bamboo Forest. Looking at the scorched corpses scattered everywhere, they couldn't help feeling that Zhang Yifan was utterly terrifying. To think he had actually finished off two Sages—how incredible was that!
