When Yang Xiao previously placed the blade across this person's neck, he activated his spiritual power, secretly leaving a trace of the blade's edge. Later, when this person bowed down, his neck hit the blade and his head was severed.
However, because the blade was exceedingly sharp, it wasn't until his head hit the ground that the elder's head fell off.
To be precise, the elder committed suicide, so Yang Xiao was not breaking his word.
In just a few minutes, this place gained three more wandering souls. Two people had their heads chopped off to become headless ghosts, while another died in a more gruesome manner, cleaved diagonally from shoulder to waist.
With the death of these three, their lost magic artifacts also vanished.
"Elder Sheng, this knife is truly extraordinary." Wiping the bloody stains off the blade, Yang Xiao held the knife, eyes gleaming with excitement.
