The next moment.
"Hmm?" Chu Jiang frowned and reacted with lightning speed, instantly retreating in a violent burst.
A clump of dark-red bloodlight, viscous and foul, reeking of intense blood and destruction, suddenly shot out from Guardian Lin's mangled remains and exploded with a boom less than half a foot from Chu Jiang.
The violent energy blast, mixed with poisonous fragments, was like countless high-speed spinning blades of filthy blood, smashing viciously against Chu Jiang's scales.
But Chu Jiang possessed the physical body of a God King. When this attack landed on him, it could not even raise a mark. Had it been a Heavenly God Realm cultivator instead, they would have faced near-certain death.
