Only then did the stone man finally behave. It did not have even a shred of strength left to struggle, half-collapsed on the ground, yet it still glared furiously at everyone, deeply unwilling to accept that Zhao Fu had used so many people to fight it alone.
Zhao Fu looked at the stone man with a faint smile on his face. "Will you choose submission or death?"
The stone man roared furiously at Zhao Fu, "Kill me, then! I will never surrender. If you do not kill me, next time I will definitely smash you into minced meat."
Zhao Fu frowned as he looked at the stone man. "Then should I kill it or keep it?"
