Depriving the gold warlord of his moves was very consuming. If the enemy used a powerful strike, Lin Yao would have consumed all the vital energy within him and could only have gained control of half of the strike.
Although he controlled half of the gold warlord's move, and the opponent's attack might fail or even backlash, this alone could not kill a gold warlord. This would only severely injure a gold warlord.
The enemy had merely been seriously injured, while Lin Yao had lost all his vital energy after this one move. There was no way to survive now that he no longer had heaven and earth perception.
