The small pebble lay hidden and motionless in the grass. It was surrounded by countless other small stones just like it, scattered across the ground. Blending in perfectly, it gave off no unusual aura and was utterly inconspicuous.
If the Five Thunders Order in his Sea of Consciousness hadn't failed to register any new Evil Qi, Gu Zhao would never have realized that the man in green had faked his death to escape.
But now that he knew what to look for, Gu Zhao used his Divine Thought combined with Taoist True Qi to examine the area closely, and he naturally spotted what was unusual about this particular pebble.
After Gu Zhao spoke, the scene fell silent.
"You think I'm bluffing?" Gu Zhao gave a dry laugh. He formed a Sword Pointing gesture with his right hand, and a spark of fire shot from his fingertips, landing on a small pebble three feet in front of him.
The spark flared into a net of fire, instantly enveloping the small pebble.
"AARGH!"
