Dong Chenglou could not really be blamed for being careless.
As far as he knew, however powerful Lu Mian might be, he was only a cultivator at the Second Realm: Meridian Opening.
Even if he focused all his power on Songyangzi, he could still spare enough to deal with Lu Mian.
He only needed to stall a little longer to kill Songyangzi.
But Lu Mian happened to be a freak.
No Truth, in particular, was a bizarre supernatural ability that served as the ultimate weapon against worshippers of these gods.
It negated their faith directly within their minds, leaving them hard-pressed to defend against it.
One wrong move led to another.

Songyangzi briefly
