"Slaying a King-Sealing Creation expert really wasn't easy." In midair, Qin Hao shook his head slightly.
To kill a King-Sealing Creation expert, he had to do more than exhaust his foe's Divine Strength. He had to obliterate his Divine Soul as well.
That was far harder than killing a Marquis-Rank Creation expert.

Qin Hao attacked again and again with the Lingxiao Divine Sword. Even after he reduced the Green Devil King's Divine Body to nothing and drained his Divine Strength to zero, the Green Devil King still had not died.
