Chapter 24
With a flick, Elder Xiu’s Firebolt Sword1 sent a thunderbolt straight deep into the ground. Ignoring the damage he was inflicting on Grand Border City, Elder Xiu’s greed for Su Xing’s2 Astral Treasure3 made him willing to pay any price to kill Su Xing.
"Elder4 wants to see how much longer you can last." Elder Xiu’s Divine Intent had already locked on to Su Xing. Before a stronger star cultivator, running and hiding were pointless.

Su Xing hid behind a statue, gasping for breath. With his energy rapidly depleting, the Astral Treasure was also slowly dimming.
