Possession
This must be the . Lu Zhen's eyes turned golden as he observed the liquid.
"Just as I expected, it was indeed the Harmony Sapping Scarlet Essence."
"I was correct to catch this guy off guard..." Lu Zhen gazed at the armour as if he could sense the despair and reluctance to die within it.
As Lu Zhen was entirely invisible to the mage's radar and moved swiftly, he didn't provide the red-haired mage any chance to prepare, catching him off guard. This was why he was able to defeat the mage so easily.
Even the mage's butler had posed a significant challenge to Lu Zhen, nearly killing him. If he had been indecisive or given the red-haired mage enough time, he would be dead without a doubt.
Lu Zhen had no doubts about that. The conversation that had occurred before he broke through the barrier earlier might have been nothing more than a ploy by the mage to buy time, allowing him to prepare. It was all empty talk, after all.
