Chapter 503 — The Cult Master Who Slays the Heart and Seizes Life

The Dragon Qilin hurriedly hid behind Shen Mu; this great chest filled it with dread.
Shen Mu tossed the limbs before Xing An and said coolly, "Release the others and take back your own body, and you live. Otherwise, you die. Fat Dragon, Chest, let us go and leave him to think it over."
