It had killed Machamp instantly, without giving him the slightest chance to defend himself.
Everyone was stunned by what they had seen. Xu Mu ignored them and walked straight over to Xu Lu.

Puzzled, Eternatus asked him,
"Xu Mu, what brings you here? And so suddenly!"
"You startled me. Couldn't you
