The Angel Race assassin was still staring at Max in disbelief, but Max himself wasn't relaxed in the slightest.
He understood the situation better than anyone.
The assassin was shocked because Max could fight him head on despite standing at only the 5th level of the Law Manifestation Realm. Being able to fight someone and being able to beat them easily were two different things, though.
His opponent was a genuine 9th level Divine Lord Realm cultivator trained specifically in assassination, concealment, and killing techniques. If Max kept fighting him conventionally, the battle could drag on for a very long time, and every passing moment raised the chance that Angel Race reinforcements might arrive.
Max's eyes grew colder.
'Dragging this out is pointless.'
He had already revealed plenty of his strength during the Ten Shadows Trial, yet there were still several abilities he had deliberately kept hidden from nearly everyone.
Now seemed like the right moment to use a few of them.
