Facing Chen Hai's Devouring Touch, Chi Lian was exhausted from fleeing for her life and in grave danger.
In contrast, White Bone merely summoned a few White Bone Skeletons with a flick of his wrist and had already barely managed to withstand a dozen or twenty strands of Greedy Touch, securing a precious opportunity for Chi Lian to catch several breaths.
Although the reality was laid out before their eyes, it didn't mean that his strength was stronger than Chi Lian's.
The reason for such a result stemmed mainly from the fact that everything in the world has its counter; the skeletons summoned by White Bone's Divine Skills had at most a hint of spirituality and lacked flesh or a Divine Soul to be devoured by Devouring Touch.
These ferocious tentacles' greatest strength lay in their terrifying power to devour.
Now, facing these White Bone Skeletons, the power of devourment hardly had any role to play; to deal with these skeletons, they had to completely crush them into dust.
