On the other hand, the Emperor of the Sanctuary Empire, Saint Danze, had already quietly prepared for the attack, with the soldiers of the Third Magic Unit all set for battle. As soon as Slade showed any signs of defeat, they would immediately rush forward to kill Long Yi and Ai Lin at the fastest speed possible. Saint Danze had realized that Long Yi and Ai Lin, these two individuals, absolutely must not be left alive! They were both too strong, strong to a degree that defied normal standards. One such person might be manageable, but having two of them join the Divine Auffa Empire would be an enormous threat to the Sanctuary Empire—a threat that could not be tolerated!
So, they must die!
Slade watched Long Yi warily while keeping an eye on his own hand. With the aid of special magic, his severed hand quickly regenerated to its original state. Although the strength wasn't fully there yet, at least the functionality was restored.
