Chapter 104: Despair
Bzzzt...
A dense tangle of circuitry lay exposed at the severed stump of Mu Cheng's lower half. Tiny blue electrical arcs flickered continuously, the only sound remaining in the world.
Su Mu stepped out of the darkness, his face pale. He leaned almost his entire weight on the Snakewood Cane. That last strike had clearly drained him to the point of collapse; if he hadn't acquired the Bronze Law, Great Force Bombardment Punch, which drastically improved his physical constitution, he would have passed out long ago.
