Xu Yunfan flicked his hand, shattering the desiccated corpse. Before the remains could even hit the ground, the sea breeze scattered them into dust.
He stood atop the ruins of Penglai Pavilion as the sea breeze, thick with a salty, briny mist, swept across his robes.
Xu Yunfan slowly closed his eyes, feeling the Ten Extremes True Qi surging within him.
