Back then, killing a grievously wounded Violet Gold Marquis who had only half a body left had nearly cost Chu Liang his life. Now, dealing with a peak seventh-realm great demon was hardly difficult. Though he had the Demon-Slaying Sword's aid, even Chu Liang himself could not help sighing at how much he had grown.
It was somewhat regrettable that the White King Xiao had escaped in order to protect Jiang Guo, but on second thought, if he had let the Black King Xiao self-destruct, he could certainly have killed both Ghost Xiaos, yet he would still have collected only one mark.
