Life and Death Uncertain

"Cough, cough, cough …"

After everyone left the underground cave, Long Teng suddenly started coughing violently.

Blackwind's expression changed, and he said, "Lord Throne, you …"

Long Teng waved his hand and gasped for air as he said, "Forcefully deploying the Vast Heaven Pagoda greatly damaged my vitality. If that Fiendgod Jia Lan didn't leave, I would really be helpless against him."

Turns out that earlier, Long Teng cutting down the two Holy Followers with the momentum of a thunderbolt was just for the sake of scaring away Jia Lan.

And he himself merely just had the power of one attack. The composure from before was all feigned.

Blackwind still found it odd previously. Since Long Teng had such formidable strength, why didn't he come out earlier?

Looks like, deploying this Vast Heaven Pagoda was also an immense burden on Long Teng.
