"Heh!"
Water Ghost's lips curled into a bigger sneer.
He knew that at such a close distance, Bai Lian could only maximize the output of his combat strength in order to protect himself.
However, he was so weak, and his control of power was so crude that Bai Lian's self-defense seemed only to protect Water Ghost behind him. It was as if what he said was, "These are my people, even you, Dao Qiongcang, can't touch them."
As one of the five great authorities of the Holy Palace, Bai Lian was very often placed under public scrutiny and had long been thoroughly studied by others. Water Ghost was no exception.
His thoughts, combat strength, battle style, etc., Water Ghost knew Bai Lian like the back of his hand.
In the eyes of Water Ghost, Bai Lian was already a dead man, but he had spared his life.
Of course, Water Ghost had even more treacherous and inhumane methods.
