The effect of this was significant.
Very soon, the leader of the Hermit Order couldn't hold it in any longer.
His eyes blazed with anger, and the previously elegant and composed demeanor vanished entirely. His face twisted fiercely as he looked at Baiyu, wishing he could swallow him whole and tear him apart.
"This time you got me, kid, let's see who's laughing last."
The leader of the Hermit Order, an old hand at this for many years, realized he had been caught off guard. Knowing the situation had turned against him, continuing to fight would only lead to his demise, so he immediately sacrificed an arm, cutting off the one Baiyu had grabbed.
Then he suppressed the rampant Golden Power within his body and vanished from Baiyu's sight at an extremely fast speed.
In their level of confrontation,
even the slightest mistake could lead to eternal damnation.
That's why he acted so decisively.
Baiyu held the empty arm, furrowing his brow, momentarily unable to react.
