The old woman still believed Tie Ti'er was Sikong Jing's beloved woman. Otherwise, why would she cry so miserably?
Those sobs were heart-rending!
"Are you cold and heartless, or are you simply bad at expressing your feelings?"
"Fine, fine. I'll make sure to see what kind of man you really are."
"Formations can't deal with you, is that it? Then I'll create a terrifying enemy for you—a trial of life and death—and see whether you can give your life for the woman you love."
As she spoke, her gaze fell upon the Dongba man lying not far away, unable to get back up.
Chirp...
A thread of crimson blood flicked from the old woman's hand. Without Sikong Jing noticing, it shot into the Dongba man's body.
In but an instant... Boom!
The Dongba man, who had been in agony moments ago, suddenly shuddered violently from head to toe. Then, the true energy throughout his body erupted with a thunderous blast. At last, he rose to his feet with a dazed expression, his bones crackling nonstop as every injury on his body completely healed.
"Hm?"
Elsewhere, Sikong Jing, who had been waiting for Tie Ti'er to finish crying, froze and turned his gaze toward the Dongba man, who had suddenly risen.
At the same time, Tie Ti'er, still weeping bitterly, raised her head as well.
Then her mouth fell open, utterly unable to believe the Dongba man's sudden transformation.
In no more than the blink of an eye, the Dongba man who had just been rolling on the ground not only recovered from all his injuries, but the true energy within him was also advancing madly. In one leap, it surged to the peak of the Heavenly King Realm.
The next moment, something even more terrifying and inconceivable happened...
Boom...
