A minute ago.
Xukong had finally felt the barrier surrounding the mysterious ring disappear. He had been trying to contact Lin Mu's mind but was unsuccessful as the shield surrounding it was still present, but now that his spirit sense could leave the ring he could at least observe what was happening outside.
As soon as Xukong's spirit sense left the ring he saw the Town head's skull getting crushed in Lin Mu's hand. He was surprised by this sudden development. But not because Lin Mu had killed someone, instead because of how quickly and effortlessly he had done it.
Xukong then saw the expression on Lin Mu's face and the condition of his body. The malevolent smile on his face, accompanied by the blood-shot eyes and the strained veins, only made him think of one thing.
"Demonic Might! He's actually able to replicate the innate ability of the demon race." Xukong exclaimed.
