Shino Fumiki didn't collapse instantly after being stabbed by the sword; instead, he disintegrated into dust in two steps.
In the first step, a surge of Power of the Dragon Veins erupted from his body, which was swiftly absorbed by the Xuanyuan Sword, transforming into pure energy that merged with the Sword Spirit.
It's important to know that the inherent Sword Spirit of the Xuanyuan Sword is Dragon Qi, so the Power of the Dragon Veins is naturally a treasure that can aid in its rapid fusion.
In a way, this was an unexpected surprise for Liu Zixuan.
Thinking it was over, he hadn't anticipated a second step.
After the Power of the Dragon Veins in his body was absorbed by the Xuanyuan Sword, the veins on his skin burst suddenly, his meridians shattered quickly, and a mist of blood wafted out, all converging onto the scarlet blade of the Nine-fingered Blade Demon.
In other words, the Inner Strength contained within his meridians and Dantian was swallowed by the scarlet blade.
