After slicing off Qiu Baishui's head with the Emperor's Sword, something astonishing happened. Cracks appeared on Qiu Baishui's incense-formed body, quickly spreading all over, and a large amount of Power of Incense began to dissipate.
Qiu Baishui could no longer gather incense to reshape her body, which was quite unusual since the main trait of an Incense Fire God is quick Cultivation and being particularly hard to kill. Earlier, even after Li Yi killed her several times, she revived with the Power of Incense, almost without any impact on her strength.
However, after being struck by the Emperor's Sword, Qiu Baishui did not recover. Instead, her cracked body shattered rapidly, turning into a pile of sludge, dispersing into Taihu.
Li Yi sensed the aura but did not find Qiu Baishui's presence reappearing.
Could she be dead?
