Although Vivian was not looking, she still sensed what the Spiritual Emperor in cyan was trying to do. She wanted to see how it would play out, so she didn't bother making a move and just let him get close to Rocky's back.
He was drawing nearer when Rocky slowly turned to face him.
"I guess it's true what they say, huh? Ambition never dies until there is no way out," Rocky sighed with a faint smile on his face. He then waved his hand, and a mysterious fighting energy surged out from his body like an invisible shock wave, which instantly rushed into the body of his opponent.
As soon as the mysterious fighting energy reached the Spiritual Emperor in cyan garments, it instantly destroyed his meridians like a violent torrent.
In his eyes, Rocky looked so bored and uninterested, so he didn't understand why he felt like blacking out the next moment. After all, the last thing he saw was Rocky simply waving his hand.
"Aaahhh!" The Spiritual Emperor couldn't stop screaming in agony as he spat out mouthfuls of blood. After a few seconds, his eyes rolled back into his head and then he collapsed on the ground. His body twitched a few more times before he took his final gasp.
The high-level Spiritual Emperor in black was completely dumbfounded as he watched his companion drop to the ground. He didn't understand what happened since he didn't even see Rocky move. All he knew was that approaching Rocky resulted to his friend's demise.
He tried to make sense of what he saw, until he reached the assumption that it was the masked woman who could have possibly killed him. Besides, Rocky couldn't have done anything harmful to his friend without lifting a finger.
However, as he delved further into it, he figured that Vivian was a few meters away from the scene. She didn't also bother reacting, so there was no way she could have done it.
The Spiritual Emperor in black had racked his brains until he was at his wit's end, but he still couldn't find the most rational conclusion. However, he was running out of time. He needed to escape before people from the Wankong Clan came, so he quickly jumped into the air and fled in a hurry.
"Now, what should we do about this casualty?" Vivian asked as she looked at the dead Spiritual Emperor.
"We can just leave it there. Let's go inside and have some tea," Rocky casually replied, and then went straight into the living room of the pavilion.
Vivian nodded and followed behind him.
Meanwhile, as Alex attended to the fire in the other areas of their territory, she suspected that it was merely a distraction. After all, they had already expected that something unpleasant might befall on them, following their disagreement with the Myriad Spiritual Hall. In that very second, she rushed over to the Spring Cloud Pavilion along with three Spiritual Emperors and some Spiritual Kings. Upon their arrival, they were all shocked to the core when they saw a high-level Spiritual Emperor lying lifeless right outside the pavilion.
"Isn't he the one who came with the young master of the Myriad Spiritual Hall earlier today?"
"You're right, that's him."
"What happened here? How'd he wind up dead?! Who could've killed a Spiritual Emperor at the premium stage?"
Alex and her men were all caught off guard. They could not believe what they were seeing.
Truly, this horrible scene had made Alex worry about their guests. As she immediately ran to the pavilion, she murmured, "I hope they're alright."
When she opened the door, however, Alex was befuddled. She found the two sitting at the table, drinking tea, and playing chess. They were basically just lounging around, seemingly unaware of what was going on outside.
"Um... Are you guys okay?" Alex asked reluctantly. She was still in a daze.
"Sure." Rocky smiled at her.
