Flesh and Blood Crush the Sword Talisman, Ferocious Stele Slams the Ground to Slay a Golden Core

The residual force of the Nascent Soul Demon-Slaying Sword Talisman cleaved down at his head.

The layer of dark-black skin membrane across Lu Chen's back was ripped open on the spot, leaving a huge gash.

The wound was deep enough to expose bone, its flesh curling back on both sides to reveal jagged, ghastly white bone beneath.
