An Lin was at a bit of a loss for words at the sight of the grateful, kowtowing dragon.
Had Xiao Ze mistaken him for that mighty black dragon?
One couldn't really blame Xiao Ze for making a mistake like this. After all, An Lin was only a Soul Formation Stage cultivator, but he was able to gather an army of Return to Void Stage underlings as well as snatching away Xiao Ze's defensive ability in the blink of an eye… How could a Soul Formation Stage cultivator be capable of something like this?! No matter how one thought about it, An Lin was definitely some mighty figure in disguise!
Xiao Ze finally verified these suspicions upon witnessing the emergence of the black dragon projection. Not only that, but An Lin was countless times more terrifying than Xiao Ze had initially thought he would be, to the extent that it was completely unable to muster up any resistance…
In other words, Xiao Ze had been completely crushed by fear.
