Despite sustaining severe injuries, this monster was still not dead. Its body was still exhibiting signs of life, undulating with each breath, as though some energy was sustaining it.
No, it wasn't on the brink of death.
Li Huazhao furrowed his brows slightly. Based on his earlier impressions during the battle, this monster should not have been this weak.
Granted, in this state, his physical prowess was considerably greater than this monster's, but the beast was far from powerless.
Only minutes before, this beast was able to land a powerful blow that effortlessly sent him flying.
But during their most recent battle, the beast had practically surrendered, barely defending itself against his onslaught.
All of the beast's energy was focused on regenerating its body. So it only appeared to be at death's door, seemingly utilizing some form of the Turtle Breath Technique to halt all of its life processes.
Was this beast playing dead?
Why would it do such a thing?
