Rosa Xitugus gasped.
Rosa Xitugus slowly lifted her head, eyes wide with shock.
Her single pink eye, usually bright with life, now faded to a ghastly pale.
Andrew Han's gaze was glacial, his face as cold as frost. He gripped Rosa Xitugus tightly—there was no need to look back; the outcome was already sealed.
A thunderous crash echoed through the hall.
At that instant, the entire restaurant was thrown into chaos. Since Andrew Han had entered, there had been no real exchange—Krue Murren, killed by a single flick of Andrew's finger, was instantly reduced to drifting ash.
It was as if the sky had collapsed, the earth split open—a shockwave of terror surged through the room, stirring up countless ripples. Pure force and shattering echoes swept across the scene, chaotic as pearls tumbling onto a jade plate, the crackling, splintering noise filling the air with a deathly hush.
Void Rift-tier Eternal King!
A terrifying power, rivaling the apex of Cosmos Union!
Krue Murren's six hooves shattered, his massive body collapsing in sequence. Just as the rectangular head of the Stellar-Palace-tier Quibeast contorted in utter terror—
"No!"
That was the last desperate sound it made before death.
Immediately after—
It died instantly, right before everyone's eyes.
There was no struggle, no further roar. Krue Murren was reduced, cleanly and utterly, to drifting dust—a swirling storm of fine particles rising through the third, fourth, and even the fifth floor, amplifying the unspeakable silence and leaving all the Quibeasts frozen in terror.
In the blink of an eye, he was nothing but dust.
Krue Murren perished before their eyes.
"He's dead!"
"Truly dead!"
In terms of cultivation realm, both Krue Murren and Rosa Xitugus were Stellar-Palace-tier lifeforms. In raw talent, Krue Murren was slightly inferior to Rosa—just an ordinary genius. But crucially, Krue Murren's father was a member of the Quibeast Elder Council, a strong contender to become the next ruling elder... while the current supreme elder is Xiturok, a being whose power surpasses the Cosmic Eternal Realm.
So, by this reasoning...
