Lu Jin stood gracefully on his airborne sword, his white robes billowing in the aftermath of the intense clash. His expression was a mixture of annoyance and frustration, directed at the seemingly undeterred Derek.
Derek, however, displayed no signs of pain or distress as he slowly extended the stump of his right arm, his pitch-black eyes glistening with intrigue. Lu Jin's frown deepened as he regarded Derek with suspicion. "You must have endured an incredible amount of physical pain in your past life to be so numb to suffering," he commented.
In response, Derek let out a chuckle, a dark humor dancing in his eyes. His hand began to grow at a visible rate, a phenomenon that left Lu Jin somewhat taken aback. On Derek's right shoulder, the tattoo of the bony werewolf, the Ancestral Undying Wolf, was visible. It was this powerful ancestral tattoo that allowed Derek to regrow his limbs, a formidable ability that made him unafraid of direct confrontations.
