Moments earlier…
Xu Rouguang wiped the blood from his lips as he watched the two demon gods stare at the shield. Now that they had taken fancy of breaking it, he needed to find a way to distract them. However, they would only keep on destroying the shield as it held his treasure. The former general had sent more power to the shield with a hand seal at the time the cloth demon god scratched at it, so he barely had any now after running away from the other.
As he charged for another attack, he suddenly felt something shatter inside him. He held onto his divine core that had been abused by the White Bone Charm. Since he still had it active, the damage it caused had grown over time. It was just a few minutes, but protecting the shield was surely draining him without him realizing it.
