"..." This turn of events was clearly something Xiao Jue had never anticipated.
He turned his head and stared straight at Chen Mu. Though his face was not as expressive as a human's, his eyes laid bare the bewilderment in his heart.
He could not understand how a human had so easily disrupted and undone his perfected Lesser Heaven-Devouring Art.
