The thing growing on its neck like a tumor was a clump of condensed essence of Ling Hu's demonic power.
For Ling Hu, even having the tiniest bit cut off would be enough to make its heart ache so badly it could barely breathe.
And this was such a huge chunk...
Ling Hu's whole face scrunched up.
It was desperately reluctant.
Its heart felt like it was being twisted.
