People had heard of old trees taking root and withered trees budding, but never of a severed limb growing back in an instant.
Anyone else who witnessed this scene would have been utterly shocked.
Take Gongshu Yuan, for example. When he saw that Sun Yu, the famous physician he and Lu Tianyu had invited back, was actually a three-eyed beast—and, even more astonishingly, that after Li Mu Yang had sliced off both its claws with a single sword strike, a new pair of claws had grown as its severed limbs hit the ground and were corroded—
This completely overturned Gongshu Yuan's understanding and worldview.
His fat face grew even fatter, his round eyes even rounder. Paired with his eyes, he looked like some otherworldly creature named Pikachu, and even his mouth had stretched into a huge O.
"What the hell is this?" Gongshu Yuan stared in stunned disbelief, looking as blank as a wooden chicken.
But in Li Mu Yang's eyes, it was nothing more than child's play.
He had seen things like this countless times.
During the First Dragon-Slaying War, when the Dragon Race and the Abyss Demons had fought a brutal battle, it was precisely this skill of constantly growing new limbs that had given them such a headache and cost them so dearly.
Think about it. You cut off one of their claws, and they immediately grow a new one. You sever one of their legs, and they grow another. You slice off a piece of their flesh, and to them it was like a human losing a strand of hair. Did anyone care whether they had lost one hair or two?
This was also why the human race had been unable to withstand them and had been driven back step by step by the Abyss Demons.
