"How could he still be alive?"
The Heartless Demon Master froze, then his face darkened.
He had already lost face by failing to Slaying that bald King-Sealing Creation. Now, even with a sudden attack, he had failed to take down a mere Marquis-Rank Ordinary Creation.

The Heartless Demon Master's expression shifted.
When Qin Hao had used the High-Grade Spirit Treasure Purple Sun Shield to defend himself, for instance, it had nearly shattered
