Resentment
Hao Xuan still remembered every little detail about the skill "Void Pull: Daybreak" which was why he was 100% sure it wouldn't be anywhere near as powerful as he remembered because not only was he not powerful enough to execute it but he didn't have a great affinity towards either fire or wind which were both crucial for proper execution.
And yet, the amount of energy in that one attack was leagues ahead of anything he should be able to muster.
Unfortunately, there wasn't much time to ponder the odd occurrence because as expected, all the grunts that had been wiped out were to be replaced soon because they were regrouping and amassing their forces before even the dust settled.
'I'll try it again later when there is time.'
Thankfully that one move had wiped out scores of them near the gate and given the guards and the cultivators a brief period of recess.
