As Monk Huineng finished speaking, the characters before Nangong Cheng flickered in unison. Like a hot brand, they shot out one by one, searing themselves onto the light barrier of the circular platform nearby.
The light barrier began to ripple rapidly, and distinct nodes materialized on its surface.
Guann Zhenzhen saw this and glanced at a disciple beside her. The disciple trembled, but under her unwavering gaze, he obediently stepped forward and touched one of the nodes.
POP...
The light barrier shattered instantly, but the fragments of light didn't vanish. A small portion of them rained down on the disciple, while the majority landed on the middle-aged man on the platform.
The disciple, touched by the specks of light, was instantly horrified. Before he could even cry out, he aged rapidly until he disintegrated into a pile of ash.
