Life was so fragile, just like Ron and Barlow in front of him. Two high-level Energy Machinists who had lived for hundreds of years died under his blade like ants.
Garon had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Ron and Barlow were the top powerhouses of the Chixue Sect who were about to break through to the Inherited Level in the future. Each of their experiences could be written into a legendary inspirational novel, but they died so simply under his blade.
It was just a moment of carelessness.
"Yes, just a moment of carelessness and it caused such serious consequences." Garon pulled out the blade that pierced between Barlow's eyebrows and held the magic blade upside down.
"So, I also have to be vigilant at all times to prevent others from using the same method to deal with me …"
He took warning in his heart.
"For example, there are many seemingly impossible encirclements. Just like now, an insignificant person can lose his life."
He raised the Sunlight Magic Blade in his hand.
The blue-gold flames on the blade were still burning continuously. These flames could not hurt him as they were all neutralized by the golden sunlight in his body.
Putting away the magic blade, Garon suddenly remembered the other things in his Space Ring and was slightly stunned.
"The sun's flames are so fierce, won't the other things be burned!?"
He hurriedly tried to take the other things out of the Space Ring.
Smack!
A piece of charcoal-like black thing appeared in his hand.
Garon's face darkened and kept the thing. Another piece of charcoal appeared in his hand, followed by pieces of black things that kept appearing in his hand.
"Forget it!"
He was helpless. He walked in front of Barlow and searched his body.
A Space Ring, a light golden diamond-shaped crystal, and some not-so-valuable personal items.
Garon threw away the personal items and put away the Space Ring and the light golden crystal.
Similarly, he went to search Ron again. He only had a Space Necklace and a pair of Hovering Shoes that could still be used. The other personal items were all trash and not worth mentioning.
After putting away the things, Garon looked around.
The blue-gold color had completely disappeared, only the ignited fire was burning fiercely again.
The sky was filled with billowing black smoke. That was the scene of more than ten airships exploding and falling down to set the forest ablaze.
The billowing heatwaves almost charred everything in the surroundings. From time to time, crackling sounds could be heard from the bonfires. Some people were moaning, as if they were still alive.
"Little Qin … Little Qin …!" A woman's pained cry came from somewhere.
Through the flames, they couldn't see clearly how the survivors were faring.
Garon was silent for a moment before he reached out and flicked his finger.
With a whoosh, a transparent air bullet was shot out. It passed through the flames and made a crisp sound behind it. The voice stopped abruptly.
Sighing softly, Garon turned around and quickly leaped into the air. He put on his hovering shoes and flew into the distance, disappearing into the horizon in less than ten seconds.

"What!! Dead?! Ron and Barlow are dead?! "
At the Scarlet Snow headquarters, an old man who was sitting at the triangular silver-white table widened his eyes and the smoking pipe in his hand trembled slightly.
Under the faint blue light, there were three old men with different expressions sitting at the table.
One of the old men had an extremely ugly expression on his face. He held a black walking stick with both hands, and his entire body exuded a terrifying chill. With his body as the center, within a one-meter radius of him, the weather naturally changed. Specks of snow and black clouds gathered and drifted away. Surrounding him, it gave off a terrifying and abnormal feeling.
The old man with the smoking pipe glanced at the old man with the walking stick. He was the Second Elder of Scarlet Snow. He was also a reformist of Scarlet Snow who had always been at odds with Big Brother and Third Brother. Although he always wanted Big Brother and Third Brother to believe in his proposal, he didn't want to see the sect's elite disciples killed so easily.
The Second Elder took a puff of his smoking pipe and blew out a faint white smoke ring.
"How did they die? Have you found out? "
"I don't know." The third Elder's face was gloomy. "We haven't had a meeting for thirty years. I didn't expect this meeting to be because of the death of our disciples." Third Brother's temper had always been gloomy. At this moment, something flashed in his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.
"If the disciples are dead, they can be recruited again. What I care about is that they died on Chixue Star. Moreover, they were killed by a thermal attack. This is against the rules!" Big Brother's voice was low and powerful. His gaze moved to Second Brother's face. "Second Brother, what do you think?"
"The Chixue Sect believes in the law of the jungle. If Carthage killed them, perhaps we can consider reducing the punishment. However, if they were killed by spies or by a conspiracy, we should investigate thoroughly!" Second Elder nodded in agreement. "I just hope that we won't be suspicious because of the investigation and disappoint our disciples. After all, we are a sect. As a whole, the cohesion of the sect is the most important thing. "
"After being gentle for so long, the result is that two of my disciples died just like that. Second Brother, your ideas are still so useless. "Big Brother said coldly.
"If we want to find out who the culprit is, as long as we eliminate the people who were still on Chixue Star during this period of time and use the satellite to monitor who the victims were with before they died, we should be able to find some clues. However, if we find out that it wasn't a spy but a fight between the disciples of the sect, how should we deal with it? "Second Brother smiled faintly.
"Those who kill should be killed! If you break the rules, you should be punished! "Big Brother said firmly. "Otherwise, what will the supervisors who are still in charge think?"
Second Brother smiled and did not reply.
Third Brother shook his head. Anyway, this had nothing to do with him. It seemed like there was a conflict between Second Brother and Big Brother. He just needed to stand by and reap the benefits.

Many days had passed since Garon killed Ron and Barrow.
The Scarlet Snow Sect had already sent out a few Inherited Level supervisors to intervene in this matter and conduct a thorough inspection. However, because the crime scene had been burned to a crisp by the fire, there were no valuable clues left. In addition, the place was also interfered with by the crystals. Many of the clues had been mixed up by the time the investigators arrived at the scene due to the interference of the crystals. It was even more difficult to find clues.
Garen, on the other hand, returned to his temporary encampment and continued to train and rest.
He sent Xiao Yi and Xiao Er out to help Bänstad with miscellaneous matters. In the blink of an eye, it was time to go to the Void Battleground.
Originally, Garon had planned to do a mission to accumulate some experience and credit points before that. However, he did not expect this to happen. Naturally, he did not go out anymore.
Instead, he stayed in the temporary base and carefully studied the use of the demonic sword Sunlight. He had initially integrated the Multiple Speed Fist with the Sunlight Sword Technique.
Other than using the normal sharpness and destructive power to break through the defense of the force field, there was only one move — Sunlight.
After this move was unleashed, it could instantly form a huge beam of light attack. It could reach the lethality of an Inherited Level head-on and its area of effect was extremely terrifying. However, once this move was used, it would consume a lot of energy.
Once it was used, it must kill someone. If it did not kill someone, the energy of the demonic sword Sunlight would rapidly weaken. Therefore, it could not be used casually. Once it was used, it must kill the opponent.
However, Garon observed carefully. The blue-gold flames of the demonic sword Sunlight did not seem to absorb the energy of the enemy's life or soul. However, he did not know what it was absorbing by killing people.
This was also the key to why the secret scroll called Sunlight a demonic sword.
Once it was used, someone must die. Otherwise, the power of the demonic sword would rapidly decrease.
Under normal circumstances, the power of Sunlight would not be fully activated. It could only pierce through all the defensive force fields below the Inherited Level. Once it was activated, it could reach the point of breaking through the Inherited Level. As for which level of the Inherited Level it was, Garon was not very clear.
Not long after, because Ron and Barrow from the Great Elder's line had died, the order behind them moved forward. They were ranked first and second. After that, the people from the Great Elder's line added two people from the Two Hearted Disciples to become Three Hearted Disciples.
Garon was also asked for clues about the murder because someone had seen him and Ron together. However, no one would believe that a guy who had just entered Three Hearted Disciples could kill two Two-Moons Level masters. After all, the gap between them was three levels: New Moon Level, Half Moon Level, and Full Moon Level. Even if the two of them stood still and let Garon attack, it would take at least half a day to break through their defenses, not to mention ending the battle in such a short time.
According to the investigation, the battle was completely resolved in almost five minutes. Naturally, Garon was not a suspect.
After a round of investigation, Garon was also helplessly released by the investigation team's supervisors. He was safe and sound.
Everything seemed to have returned to normal. The commotion caused by the deaths of Ron and Barrow gradually calmed down. Every year, there would be deaths in the Chixue Sect, whether it was in the Void Battleground, other sects' martial arts competitions, or accidents such as exploration.
Although the Three Hearted Disciples were not very fast, it was not too slow either. However, this time, it was because the two people who died were ranked too high that it caused such a huge commotion. However, no matter how big the commotion was, it would eventually calm down.
Finally, it was time to leave the sect and head to the Void Battleground.
*****
At the peak of Chixue Star's headquarters, on an unusually tall snowy peak.
In the midst of the white snowstorm, a huge black vortex was slowly rotating. A large amount of black fog was swirling inside. In the middle of the black fog, there was an extremely deep black tunnel that seemed to lead to the unknown depths of the universe.
At the bottom of the vortex, there were already a few people from the Chixue Sect waiting there quietly.
Garon was also sitting cross-legged among them. He closed his eyes and rested. In the past few days, his Secret Technique level did not increase. From Ron and Barrow's Space Rings, he did not find anything that could strengthen himself. These resources had probably been used up by the two of them long ago. Naturally, they would not keep them.
However, the wealth obtained from this was huge, especially for Ron. There were at least tens of millions of crystals stored in his Space Necklace. All of them were extremely high quality golden crystals. This kind of golden crystal was a highly concentrated condensation of crystals. A single crystal was equivalent to a million to two million crystals. It was very rare.
