The other five Creation Realm cultivators present all shuddered at the sight before them. None of them had expected that the figure, devoid of all aura and long presumed dead, could still launch a sneak attack.
Moreover, the attack had been fierce and vicious. Only after Nie Hongdian was struck did the Creation Realm cultivators present react.
In other words, no matter who had been standing before the Taichang Pill at the time, almost no one could have evaded that sneak attack.
