"Interesting!"
Lu Ren had stirred the pride in the Prison Dragon Protector's heart. He was a Mid-Transmutation Realm cultivator, after all. By rights, a full-force swing of his axe should have gravely wounded an ordinary cultivator of the same realm even without any Grand Dao True Intent.
Yet Lu Ren had only been knocked back a few steps.
