With a crisp sound, the Reaper's Scythe pressed down on the great saber, slicing across the Second Enforcer's chest.
He was sent flying, a spray of blood arcing through the air.
The next moment, the Second Enforcer stood up, looking dishevelled. Seeing the wound on his chest healing and his internal injuries rapidly recovering, he burst into laughter.
"Ye Cangtian, you're nothing more than this! Is this all you've got?"
"Come, come! Continue! I want to see how long you can last!"
The Second Enforcer grew arrogant again. The effect of the Guangming Seal was so evident that he was confident he could stall Ye Cangtian until the end.
After all, he was an unkillable cockroach; he would eventually outlast Ye Cangtian's stamina.
"That's a question I should be asking you. I want to see how long *you* can last!"
"What I really want to know is, if your head were severed from your body, would the Guangming Seal still be able to save you!"
Ye Cangtian's gaze turned cold as he swung the Reaper's Scythe once more.
On the other side, the Second Enforcer's heart suddenly tightened at Ye Cangtian's words.
But he had no time to dwell on it. Ye Cangtian's attack had already arrived, and he could only brace himself and meet the onslaught.
*Clink!*
A faint sound echoed, and the Second Enforcer froze. He mustered all his strength to block.
However, he felt no power in this strike. It was all thunder and no rain, a blow that even a child could easily parry.
*Bad!*
But in the next instant, the Second Enforcer saw the Reaper's Scythe lift slightly and then fall again. A foreboding sense washed over him.
*Snap!*
With a crisp sound, the great saber in the Second Enforcer's hand was cleaved in two by the Reaper's Scythe.
And the Reaper's Scythe continued from the Second Enforcer's left shoulder to his right waist.
"Heh heh..."
In the next moment, the Second Enforcer looked down at his chest. Seeing that not much blood was seeping from his skin, he chuckled.
Ye Cangtian's attack this time looked incredibly fierce, directly cutting his great saber in half.
Yet, he felt nothing, and the bloodstains on his body indicated that his injuries were not severe.
"Ye Cangtian, are you just a paper tiger? Your attacks get weaker with each strike!" the Second Enforcer taunted.
"Heh heh."
Ye Cangtian let out a cold chuckle and said slowly, "Second Enforcer, do you really think my attacks are extremely weak? Why don't you teach me!"
"Fine! Then I will teach you what a true attack is!"
"Prepare to die!"
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, a smug smile spread across the Second Enforcer's face. The feeling of mocking a strong opponent from a position of perceived weakness was immensely satisfying.
Next, the half great saber in the Second Enforcer's hand was swung.
However, as the saber was swung, the Second Enforcer suddenly saw a spurt of blood erupt from his chest.
This was not the end; his vision and body began to slide diagonally downwards.
*What's going on?*
*Why is my body...*
It was only then that the Second Enforcer realized his body had been split in two, with half of his body still containing a beating heart...
For a moment, the Second Enforcer's eyes were filled with panic as he felt his life force rapidly draining away.
He looked at the Guangming Seal with disbelief, wanting to ask why. Wasn't the Guangming Seal supposed to have miraculous healing properties? Why hadn't it repaired this injury...
"Second Enforcer, I told you, you cannot unleash the full potential of the Guangming Seal!"
At that moment, Ye Cangtian's voice reached him.
The Second Enforcer turned his gaze to Ye Cangtian and roared hysterically, "Why! Give me a reason! Did you tamper with the Guangming Seal!"
"I'm not that bored!"
Ye Cangtian snorted and continued, "Let me tell you, the reason is very simple: the Guangming Seal's abilities are limited. Just because you possess it doesn't make you invincible..."
With the opponent on the verge of death, Ye Cangtian didn't hold back.
While the Guangming Seal's healing abilities were indeed powerful, they had their limits.
In fact, the Guangming Seal's greatest function wasn't healing, but rather restoring stamina consumption.
This meant that as long as one wasn't injured, they could fight indefinitely.
If one wanted to showcase the healing effect of the Guangming Seal, it should be in battles against opponents of equal standing or against a group of weaker opponents.
In such scenarios, relying on the Guangming Seal's healing capabilities might grant invincibility.
However, the Second Enforcer had chosen the wrong opponent. While his own strength was considerable, reaching the ninth heaven, to the current Ye Cangtian, he was no different from an ant.
Just like this moment, being directly split in two, no matter how powerful the Guangming Seal was, it couldn't save the Second Enforcer.
"I..."
Hearing Ye Cangtian's explanation, the Second Enforcer was stunned.
His words had shattered his understanding of the Guangming Seal, and he couldn't refute it because the reality was right before his eyes.
In the next moment, he suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Oh Guangming Seal, Guangming Seal! If it weren't for you, how could I have ended up in this state? You have truly caused me great harm..."
As his voice faded, the Second Enforcer's head lolled to the side, his life force extinguished.
"Alas!"
Ye Cangtian glanced at the Second Enforcer and sighed helplessly. People only understood certain truths when they were on the brink of death...
With that thought, Ye Cangtian walked over and retrieved the Guangming Seal from the Second Enforcer's severed hand.
He had originally planned to deal with the Second Enforcer and reclaim the Guangming Seal after rescuing Nanxi at the trading post.
However, he hadn't expected the Second Enforcer's intent to kill Nanxi to persist, giving him a valid reason to act. This had worked out for him.
Otherwise, he might have been slandered, as he would never have truly handed over the Guangming Seal to the Second Enforcer.
With that thought, Ye Cangtian turned to Nami and said, "The Second Enforcer is dead, so those death warriors are no longer needed!"
In Ye Cangtian's view, death warriors were different from others. Even if the Second Enforcer died, they would continue to exist according to his wishes from when he was alive.
These death warriors might not be strong, but if they caused trouble, they would still create significant problems for Nanxi.
Furthermore, since Nanxi had been tortured by the Second Enforcer, it was likely that these death warriors were involved. Therefore, Ye Cangtian decided to eliminate them directly.
"Alright!"
Nami responded, waving her slender arms gracefully. Over a dozen water arrows shot out.
The death warriors in the hall, hearing their conversation, immediately realized that something was amiss and scrambled to escape.
However, their strength was too weak. Just as they began to move, they were killed on the spot by Nami.
With all the death warriors dealt with, Ye Cangtian walked to the main seat of the side hall and sat down.
*Whoosh!*
As Ye Cangtian sat down, a collective gasp rippled through everyone in the hall.
The main hall was destroyed and still under repair, making the main seat in the side hall the de facto position of power within the Guangming Hall.
Ye Cangtian occupying that seat meant he was taking charge of the Guangming Hall.
Were all his previous words mere trifles?
For a moment, everyone in the hall was filled with indignation. Even if Ye Cangtian was a Heavenly-level expert, he couldn't deceive the entire Guangming Hall like this, could he?
What did he take the Guangming Hall for!
