A battle of Great Elder Level meant that a momentary hesitation brought about death.
Great Elder Fan Xi was bitten by an Absolute Spirit Illusionary Jiao, and the poison slowed his movements, allowing Li Shiming to close in and pierce through all of Fan Xi's defenses with his Third Grade Sword Base.
The Thunder Sword Intent and the terrifying Vajra Force caused fatal destruction inside his body.
Great Elder Fan Xi wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and couldn't utter a single word.
Even in death, he didn't know what had attacked him, which made his death extremely frustrating.
In reality, calling it a sneak attack was not accurate, as a cultivator's strength includes not only themselves but also the corpse refining and spiritual pets they cultivate; these are all part of a cultivator's combat power.
Li Shiming's Absolute Spirit Illusionary Jiao was a creature from ancient times, discovered in the ruins.
