Before the man could react, a slender finger landed on the top of his head.
There were a few cracking sounds, and then blood started to flow out from the person's head. His whole face very quickly became a bloody mess.
The man did not die instantly. He looked at the old man in shock, and after that he started to feel an excruciating pain. His face contorted in agony and then he collapsed to the ground. His body twitched for a while before he finally stopped breathing. Blood was still gushing out of the holes on his head.
The old man straightened, and lightly floated back to his palanquin. His fingers were covered in blood, and they were a stark contrast to the pure while silk veil around him. It gave off an eerie, sinister vibe, especially with the pleasant smile on his face and his refined air. If not for the scene just now, everyone would have thought that he was just a kind and honest elder who couldn't care less of worldly affairs and was knowledgeable about many things.
