"Useless."
Seeing Mu Qing seemingly trying to resist the crimson patterns on his body, the Two-Horned Blood Demon sneered.
He was utterly disdainful, yet he did not continue attacking. Instead, he panted slightly, his face tinged with pallor.
Clearly, unleashing the so-called first-stage release had cost him greatly!

The Two-Horned Blood Demon looked mockingly at Mu Qing and even took the initiative to explain, "The great Supreme Tree has bestowed abilities upon us. Even I can only barely unleash the first-stage release!"
