individuals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were quite skilled, but with his current self, it seemed possible to take care of one or two of them and take a hostage before Mok Gyeong-un could catch up to

deceiving him, that was clearly a severed arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the intense vibration of the severed arm held in Mok Gyeong-un’s left hand while he was in the flow of high-speed movement, it was difficult to discern whose arm it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right at that moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Slice!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a feeling of something leaving his body, a burning

his entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been convinced that his body had become close to indestructible, with scales appearing and even poison being ineffective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, he
