A breaking sound echoed deep in Ji Chengming's soul, activating the protective mechanism left to him by his father—an enormous face that kept morphing into countless facial expressions to express thousands of emotions. The emotions varied, but they also had one thing in common: obsession.
The obsession manifested in many shapes: the intense desire to survive, the intense anger to seek revenge by all means, and the rage of killing people who have wronged you beyond words can explain. It did not matter what the intense emotions/desires or the obsessions were; it manifested in this singular face.
Boom!
Tian Xuan's sword finally landed, but the effect could be described as ridiculously useless. Ji Chengming survived but did not look happy; on the contrary, he seemed furious, probably because Tian Xuan pushed him to such a level.
